United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.

Decided November 24, 1998.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Russell G. Petti, Bannon, Green, Smith, Frank & Rimac, Los Angeles, California; Tamarra T. Rennick, UNUM Life Insurance Company of America, Portland, Maine, for the defendant-appellant.

Sharon J. Arkin, Shernoff, Bidart, Darras & Arkin, Claremont, California, for the plaintiff-appellee.

Before: MELVIN BRUNETTI, FERDINAND F. FERNANDEZ, and M. MARGARET MCKEOWN, Circuit Judges.


BRUNETTI, Circuit Judge:

Appellee, Sherry Williamson, filed this lawsuit after Appellant, UNUM Life Insurance Company of America, canceled the benefits she was receiving under a long term disability plan issued by UNUM to Williamson's employer. UNUM appeals from two district court orders granting Williamson partial summary judgment on the issue of the proper standard of review and the issue of cooperation. We dismiss UNUM's appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
