Heading: review of summary judgment in an erisa case

Text: In ERISA cases, as in other cases, this court review[s] de novo the district court's grant of summary judgment and, viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the non-moving party, determine[s] whether there are any genuine issues of material fact for trial. Syncor, 516 F.3d at 1100. We may affirm [summary judgment] on any ground supported by the record. Alexander Mfg., Inc. Emp. Stock Ownership Plan & Trust v. Ill. Union Ins. Co., 560 F.3d 984, 986 (9th Cir.2009); Cline v. Indus. Maint. Eng'g & Contracting Co., 200 F.3d 1223, 1229 (9th Cir.2000). For the reasons explained, the Participants fail to demonstrate that there are genuine issues of material fact that make summary judgment improper. [4]
