Description
CHAPMAN, Senior Circuit Judge: Phoenix Home Life Insurance Company (""Phoenix Home Life"") denied a portion of the benefits claimed by Robert Weaver, a participant in an employee benefit plan, and Chad Weaver, his son, also a beneficiary under the plan. On January 22, 1991, the Weavers brought an action against Phoenix Home Life in the Circuit Court for the State of South Carolina, which was subsequently removed to the United States District Court. The complaint alleges, pursuant to the Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (""ERISA""), 29 U.S.C. §§ 1001 et seq., an improper denial of employee medical benefits and a breach of fiduciary duties in the handling of the Weavers' claim. On cross motions for summary judgment, the Weavers' motion was denied and Phoenix Home Life's motion granted. We find this to be error, and reverse.
