SENIOR UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE

In as much as David Morris names Assurant Employee Benefits as a defendant,
Union Security explains that Assurant Employee Benefits is not a legal entity but a
trade name under which Union Security does business. David Morris offers no
opposition to this point. Therefore, as much as Union Security and Assurant
Employee Benefits may be separate defendants, the Court understands the Motion
for Judgment on the Record (Doc. 43) to be brought by both, and this Judgment
applies to both Union Security and Assurant Employee Benefits.
