PER CURIAM.
Marvin I. Koenig and John P. Goltschman, administrators of an employee
welfare benefit plan, appeal from an adverse judgment in Wilson Bourjolly's action for
damages brought under the Employment Retirement Income Security Act. The record
is clear that Bourjolly requested his account balance be rolled over to another plan and
the administrators' delay in distributing the money caused Bourjolly damage. Contrary
to the administrators' views, the district court concluded the administrators breached
their fiduciary duties and granted judgment to Bourjolly. Having considered the record

and the parties' submissions in the context of the administrators' contentions, we agree
with the district court's analysis and conclude no error of law or fact appears in the
district court's ruling. We thus affirm for the reasons stated in the district court's ruling
without further discussion. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
