No. 79-1185.

609 F.2d 686 (1979)

Joseph W. BAKER, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. OTIS ELEVATOR COMPANY, U.T.I. Products, Inc., Local 490, International Union of Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers, A.F.L.-C.I.O., United Technologies Corporation, Bankers Trust Company, and Citibank N. A., Defendants-Appellees.

United States Court of Appeals, Third Circuit.

Decided November 13, 1979.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Joseph W. Baker, Karcher, Reavey & Karcher, P. A., Sayreville, N. J., for plaintiff-appellant.

S. Joseph Fortunato, Warren J. Casey, Pitney, Hardin & Kipp, Morristown, N. J., for defendants-appellees.

Before SEITZ, Chief Judge, and GARTH and SLOVITER, Circuit Judges.

OPINION OF THE COURT

GARTH, Circuit Judge.

This appeal requires us to decide whether § 206(a) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), 29 U.S.C. § 1056(a) (1976), extends its coverage to an employee who voluntarily left work before that provision of ERISA became effective. We conclude, as did the district court, that it does not. We therefore affirm the district court's order granting summary judgment to the defendants.
