Heading: Settled Claims

Text: 12 Per this Court's request after oral argument, plaintiff informed us in writing that after the District Court dismissed this action, he brought separate suits against the individual plans for recovery of benefits. He tells us that he has settled all claims against the Fairlawn Country Club Health Benefit Plan and the Akron Porcelain and Plastics Company Health Benefit Plan. Moreover, defendant has been released of all liability in connection with these two settlements. We therefore dismiss this appeal as moot in so far as it relates to these two plans. Plaintiff is apparently in the process of settling all claims against the Malco Products, Inc. Health Benefit Plan; it has not agreed to release defendant of all liability with respect to this plan. Therefore, plaintiff's appeal is not entirely moot, and we shall consider his claims as they relate to the Malco Plan.
