7th Circuit’s Decision on COLAs in Defined Benefit Case Will Not Be Reviewed by High Court

March 20th, 2008 · 1 Comment

The U.S. Supreme Court has denied Rohm & Haas’ petition for writ of certiorari. On theOrder List for March 17th, the Court stated:

    “07-906 ROHM AND HAAS PENSION V. WILLIAMS, GARY
    The motion of Chamber of Commerce of the United States of
    America for leave to file a brief as amicus curiae is granted.
    The motion of National Association of Manufacturers for leave to
    file a brief as amicus curiae is granted. The petition for a
    writ of certiorari is denied.”

Rohm and Haas Pension was seeking review of a decision by the 7th Circuit granting summary judgment to a participant in the Rohm & Haas defined benefit plan. Now that the Supreme Court has denied cert., the decision by the 7th Circuit stands. A discussion of the 7th Circuit opinion is here.
