Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit February 28, 2001, 00-2204 (Frank M. Brengettsy, on His Own Behalf and That of All Others Similarly Situated v. Ltv Steel (Republic) Hourly Pension Plan, 1)

POSNER, Circuit Judge.

This class action suit under ERISA was filed by a retired employee of the LTV Steel Company. The principal defendants are two pension plans sponsored by LTV and the plaintiffs union (a detail we can ignore), one a defined benefit plan and the other a defined contribution plan. The district court granted summary judgment for the defendants and also denied class certification.
