MEMORANDUM

Plaintiffs have appealed the decision of the Office of Personnel Management to deny
benefits to plaintiffs. Defendants filed a motion for summary judgment.

The motion will be

granted.
Four Circles Recovery Center is not a "covered facility provider" within the meaning of
the 2012 Service Benefit Plan. Indeed, it is a wilderness-based treatment program that is .
expressly excluded from the Plan. Accordingly, the decision of OPM was fully supported by the
evidence.
A separate order granting defendant's motion is being entered herewith.
