LERON PATRICE LATIMER,
Plaintiff,

Civil Action No. I:llcv571 (GBL/TRJ)

v.

WASHINGTON GAS LIGHT

COMPANY, et ai,
Defendants.

MEMORANDUM OPINION

This matter is before the Court on Defendants Washington Gas Light Company

("WGL"), Long Term Disability Plan-Management Employee Plan, William Zeigler, Luanne S.
Gutermuth, and Andrea Adams's Motion for Summary Judgment and Motion for Relief from
Judgment. This case, brought under the federal Employees Retirement Income Security Act
("ERISA"), is about the failure of an employer, as a benefits plan administrator and fiduciary, to

provide benefits plan information to a retired employee, as a participant in those plans.

There are eight issues before the Court. The first issue is whether the Courtshould grant
Defendants' Motion for Summary Judgment on Plaintiffs claim for Defendants' failure to

provide a sufficient summary plan description ("SPD") for her life insurance plan upon request,
Count 7 of the Amended Complaint, and either dismiss this claim or impose no penalty. The
Court finds no genuine issue of material fact as to Defendants' failure to make timely disclosure
