v.
LINCOLN LIFE & ANNUITY COMPANY OF NEW YORK,
Defendant-Appellee. |
No. 22-3369 |
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio at Columbus.

OPINION
_________________________
CHAD A. READLER, Circuit Judge. Vickie Tranbarger’s quality of life declined
precipitously after a routine surgery. She later left her job and claimed disability benefits, which
her insurer denied. Tranbarger challenged that decision in district court. Resolution of the case
turned on Tranbarger’s ability to demonstrate complete and continuous disability during the six
months following her resignation. After reviewing the administrative record, the district court
concluded that Tranbarger failed to prove as much. Accordingly, the court granted judgment to
the insurer. We now affirm. |
