Date Filed Document Text
January 9, 2017 Opinion or Order Filing 112 MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER: While the level of customer service provided by BNY Mellon's CARS team declined following Ms. Conner's departure from the bank, the bank's response to the investment directions provided by WellSpan in Ju ly 2013 did not fall below the floor imposed by ERISA. BNY Mellons representative, Mr. Buczynski, carried out the directives presented to him, and ERISA imposed no duty on him or BNY Mellon to take additional steps to ensure that WellSpan's i ntentions - which were not effectively implemented by their instructions - were ultimately achieved. The reduction of BNY Mellon's level of customer service had consequences; in part as a result, they lost a customer. But because the duties of a directed trustee are significantly limited by statute, BNY Mellon is not liable for a violation of ERISA. The Clerk of Court is directed to enter judgment in favor of Defendant, to terminate all pending motions, and to close this case. (Signed by Judge Gregory H. Woods on 1/9/2017) (kgo)
