In an ERISA action claiming that the termination of the membership of plaintiff’s employer in defendant’s health plan was arbitrary and capricious, judgment for plaintiff is affirmed where: 1) the reinstatement of pension benefits is a permissible equitable remedy under ERISA; and 2) the district court did not err in finding that the termination was a pretext to avoid paying plaintiff’s claim.
