Civil Practice: Class Action-Settlement Agreement-ERISA

Where in an ERISA class action an objector challenged the certification of a settlement class and the approval of the settlement agreement, the plaintiffs had standing to bring the class action, and the district court did not abuse its discretion in certifying the class because it was brought on behalf of the plan and requested plan-wide relief, and the judgment is affirmed because the court also did not abuse its discretion in granting the awards and attorney fees.

Judgment is affirmed.
