Before BARKETT, PRYOR and FAY, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Appellant, David Murray, worked as an assistant manager for Publix Super

-- 1 of 2 --

Markets, Inc. While changing a light bulb in his home, he fell from a step ladder and
suffered serious injuries to his back, legs and feet. He was paid short term disability
payments under an insurance plan with Hartford Life & Accident Insurance
Company, which is controlled by ERISA. His claim for long term disability benefits
was denied and he filed suit. The district court granted summary judgment in favor
of Hartford and this appeal follows.
We have studied the briefs, reviewed the record and received oral argument.
Finding no merit in the contentions being made and that the record supports the ruling
of the district court, we affirm.
AFFIRMED.
