provisions. Given the defendants’ conduct to date, the court is unpersuaded that CIG-NA/CGLIC should be given another opportunity to retroactively re-consider Ms. Dorris’s ongoing disability status as it existed over the past three years. The defendants have already received the benefit of one remand to reevaluate Ms. Dorris’s claim, and it took them over six months to issue a ruling — surpassing by several months the time period allowed by law to review an entire ERISA appeal, much less a single seven-page SSDI document. See C.F.R. § 2560.503-1. Moreover, the ruling came only after Ms. Dorris filed a motion to reinstate this action with this court. Further remands are not appropriate under these circumstances. Cf. Williams v. Int’l Paper Co., 227 F.3d 706, 715-16 (6th Cir.2000)(<HOLDING>). There is sufficient uncontroverted evidence
holding that it is appropriate to remand to the plan administrator when the administrative record is incomplete holding that a remand need not be ordered despite legal errors if remand would be futile holding that plan administrator acted arbitrarily and capriciously when it failed to consider additional medical evidence submitted by plaintiff and that it was appropriate for the court to retroactively grant disability benefits without remanding the case where there are no factual determinations to be made and a remand would be futile holding that retransfer to district court would be futile where district court determined it was without jurisdiction to hear plaintiffs claim holding that district courts order remanding an erisa benefits determination to a plan administrator was nonfinal and therefore not appealable after the remand to plan administrator plan participant still could appeal the district courts decision that erisa preempted her state law claim and if successful she would be able to pursue punitive damage
