Description
In No. 92-2118, Griffiths v. Siemens Automotive, John A. Griffiths appeals from the district courts grant of summary judgment in favor of the Defendant Siemens Automotive, L.P. (Siemens), in Griffiths suit pursuant to the Employee Retirement Income and Security Act, 29 U.S.C.A. §Â§ 1001-1461 (West 1985 & Supp. 1992) (ERISA). The district court also dismissed Defendant Brenda Lively, finding that she was not a fiduciary with respect to the employer plans at issue. Griffiths did not contest Livelys non-fiduciary status prior to judgment, and does not raise the issue of her dismissal from the suit on appeal. Because the district court did not err with respect to dismissing Lively or with respect to granting summary judgment on the longterm disability plan, we affirm those portions of the judgment. However, because the district court erred with respect to its judgment on Griffiths claim that Siemens violated ERISA with respect to its optional accident plan, we vacate that portion of the judgment and remand for further proceedings.
