Filing 64 ORDER granting 55 Motion for Summary Judgment. IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, for the reasons set forth herein, that defendants' motion is granted. Plaintiffs other than Houston failed to exhaust administrative remedies; on the interpretive question as to Houston's claim (and alternatively the other plaintiffs' claims), the Court concludes that the plan is unambiguous and the term "within" refers to a time period after the employer ceased operations. Even assuming arguendo that the plan language is ambiguous, defendants' interpretation must control because the plan grants them discretion to determine eligibility for severance pay. SO ORDERED. Ordered by Judge Joseph F. Bianco on 6/24/2014. (Lamb, Conor) |
