ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ACCIDENT COMPANY,
Defendant-Appellee.
Appeals from the United States District Court for
the Southern District of Mississippi
(USDC No. 3:96-CV-532-WS)

February 1, 2001
Before REAVLEY, JOLLY and JONES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Plaintiff-appellant Loretta Chapman appeals the district court’s summary

-- 1 of 2 --

2
judgment that she was not entitled to continued disability payments under
defendant-appellee Hartford Life’s benefits plan. Hartford made a full and fair
attempt to appraise the merit of Chapman’s claim. As a result it decided that
Chapman had failed to show that any physical disorder rendered her totally
disabled. As the district court explained in its careful opinion and order, that
decision is supported by the record and within the administrator’s discretion.
AFFIRMED

-- 2 of 2 --
