M.A., individually and on behalf of Z.A., a minor v. UNITED HEALTHCARE INSURANCE COMPANY, UNITED BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, and KAISER ALUMINUM FABRICATED PRODUCTS WELFARE BENEFIT PLAN

Opinion

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF UTAH

M.A., individually and on behalf of Z.A., a minor, MEMORANDUM DECISION AND ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO RE- Plaintiffs, OPEN v.

UNITED HEALTHCARE INSURANCE Case No. 1:21-cv-00083-JNP-DBP COMPANY, UNITED BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, and KAISER ALUMINUM Chief District Judge Jill N. Parrish FABRICATED PRODUCTS WELFARE BENEFIT PLAN,

Defendants.

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. DATED February 2, 2026. BY THE COURT

Jill N. Parrish United States Chief District Judge
