These (and other) accurate written communications rendered any inconsistent oral representations (assuming, arguendo, that there were any) entirely immaterial, because plaintiffs had full notice of their benefit rights and could not reasonably have been misled by anything to the contrary. Adams v. Tetley USA, Inc., 363 F.Supp.2d 94, 109 (D.Conn.2005) (<HOLDING>); see also Ballone, 109 F.3d at 126; Adams,

In re Dr. Braga, 789 F.Supp.2d 1294, 1304 (S.D.Fla.2011); compare In re Consorcio Ecuatoriano, 685 F.3d at 999 (<HOLDING>), with Kang v. Noro-Moseley Partners, 246
