IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF UTAH
M.A., individually and on behalf of Z.A., a
minor,
Plaintiffs,
v.
UNITED HEALTHCARE INSURANCE
COMPANY, UNITED BEHAVIORAL
HEALTH, and KAISER ALUMINUM
FABRICATED PRODUCTS WELFARE
BENEFIT PLAN,
Defendants.
MEMORANDUM DECISION AND
ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO RE-
OPEN
Case No. 1:21-cv-00083-JNP-DBP
Chief District Judge Jill N. Parrish
On September 28, 2023, the court remanded this matter to Defendants for further
consideration after granting Plaintiffs’ motion for summary judgment. ECF No. 65. On December
31, 2025, Plaintiffs filed a motion to re-open the case. ECF No. 67.
“Generally, when an ERISA case is remanded to the plan administrator for further
proceedings, the decision on remand is reviewable by the District Court upon motion by either
party.” Graham O. v. United Behav. Health, No. 1:18-CV-31-TS, 2024 WL 170739, at *1 (D.
Utah Jan. 16, 2024).
Because post-remand decisions are reviewable upon motion by either party and because
Defendants do not oppose the motion, the court finds it appropriate to re-open this case to evaluate
Defendants’ most recent denial. Plaintiffs’ motion to re-open the case is GRANTED.
