fundamentally changes how courts review administrator

determinations under the Employee Retirement Security Act, 29

U.S.C. §§ 1001-1461. In light of the Circuit’s remand, the

parties shall file new motions for summary judgment which take into

account the new standard set forth in Abatie. Accordingly, the

court sets the following briefing schedule: 

1. Motions for summary judgment shall be filed no later
