The Honorable Lee H. Rosenthal, United States District Judge for the Southern District
of Texas, sitting by designation.
On September 15, 2011, the District Court granted summary judgment in favor of
the defendants on all of Arlene Miller’s claims related to her attempt to seek long-term
disability benefits under her former employer’s disability insurance plan. We have
carefully considered the Magistrate Judge’s excellent opinion, which we believe fully and
accurately addresses the issues raised by Miller and therefore requires no further
elucidation from this Court.
Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED and ADJUDGED by the Court that the
judgment of the District Court dated September 15, 2011, is hereby affirmed. All of the
above in accordance with the opinion of this Court. No costs shall be taxed.
