Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. !i1446, MetLife has attached as Exhibit A to this Notice of Removal the complaint filed in state court in this case. 3. Plaintiff's complaint seeks payment of benefits pursuant to a group life insurance policy (the "Policy") purchased by Denise Murphy's (the "Decedent") employer, Giant Food Stores, Inc., an employer engaged in commerce and activities affecting commerce, as part of an employee benefit plan for its eligible employees. [Complaint at " 3 - 5). The benefits plaintiff seeks to recover are therefore provided pursuant to an employee welfare benefit plan as defined by ERISA !i3(1), 29 U.S.C. !i1002(1), and plaintiff's only remedy for the recovery of such benefits is provided pursuant to ERISA !i502, 29 U.S.C. !i1132. 4. The Court has original jurisdiction over this action because plaintiff's claims are preempted completely by ERISA and are removable as a matter of law. MetroDolitan Life Ins. Co. v. Tavlor, 481 U.S. 58 (1987). 5. Because this Court has jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. !i1331 and 29 U.S.C. !i1132 (e) (1), this action may be removed without regard to the citizenship or residency of the parties or the amount in controversy. 6. Plaintiff's complaint was filed on March 5, 1998 and this Notice of Removal has been filed within thirty days of service of the complaint on MetLife. 7.

Wciss and Jason L. Weiss and Executrix of the Estatc of Denise Murphy, IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA Plaintiff v. NO. 98- I .31:S Q,.,..,i...C. .:r-Q.I.J~ METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, Defendant JURY TRIAL DEMANDED COMPLAINT AND NOW comes Debra Marchese, as Executrix of the Estate of Denise Murphy and Trustee of the testamentary trust created under the Last Will and Testament of Denise Murphy,-by and through her attorneys, MARTSON, DEARDORFF, WILLIAMS & OTIO, and files this Complaint against Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, as follows: I. Plaintiff Debra Marchese is the Trustee of the Trust for the benefit of Dawn Marie Weiss and Jason Lee Weiss (hereinafter the "Trust''), established under the Last Will and Testament of Denise Murphy, dated December 31, 1996 (hereinafter the "Will''). Plaintiff Debra Marchese is named in the will as the Executrix of the Estate of Denise Murphy. A true and correct copy of said Will is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit "A." 2. Defendant Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (hereinafter "MetLife") is a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of New York and having a home office at I Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10010 and at all times stated hereafter conducted business in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, specifically in Cumberland Counly. 3. At all times pertinent hereto, Defendant was in the business of providing and or issuing life insurance policy coverage under a Group Life Plan to those eligible employees of Giant Food Stores, Inc. who selected additional life benefits. 4, At all times relevant hereto, Giant Food Stores, Inc. was the Plan Administrator and agent for service of process for Defendant MetLife for disputes arising out of the Plan. Giant Food Stores has an address of II Shady Lane, P.O. Box 249, Carlisle, Pennsylvania 17013. 5, On or about January 10, 1995, Denise Murphy, Plaintiffs Decedent, was an eligible employee of Giant Food Stores, Inc. On said date, Decedent selected additional life benefit coverage under the Group Life Plan in the amount of 550,000.00 and designated her two minor children, Dawn Weiss and Jason Weiss, as the beneficiaries. Coverage for this benefit under the Group Life Plan was provided through her employment at Giant Food Stores, Inc. by Defendant MetLife or its predecessor in interest. 6. During 1996, Decedent was diagnosed with cancer. 7. On December 31, 1996, Decedent contemporaneously executed her Will, a Living Will, and a Durable General Power of Attorney. The Will, as noted above, created the Trust for the benefit of Decedent's minor children. It was Decedent's intention and desire that her life insurance proceeds would flow directly into the Trust. 8, Decedent's Power of Attorney appointed her sister, Debra Marchese, as her attomey- in-fact. A true and correct copy of the Durable General Power of Attorney is attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit "B." 9. On or about February 3, 1997, pursuant to the Power of Attorney, Debra Marchese effectuated a change of beneficiary for the Group Plan Life insurance benefits. A copy of this change of beneficiarj is attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit "e" . 10. On March 16, 1997, Denise Murphy, then 36 years old, died. 11. As of March 16, 1997, the 550,000.00 in additional life benefits were provided pursuant to the aforesaid policy through the Group Life Plan issued by Defendant MetLife. 12. On March 25,1997, Letters Testamentary were granted to Plaintiff by the Register of Wills for Cumberland County. 13. On or about July 7, 1997, John Hancock, which provided basic life benefits as part of Decedent's employment with Giant Food Stores, Inc. paid its policy benefits to the Trust, in accordance with the February 3, 1997 selection of beneficiaries. 14. Despite repeated demands, Defendant MetLife has refused to pay its additional life benefits, 15, Finally, ten months after Decedent's death, on January 16, 1998, Defendant MetLife issued a letter denying the claim and refusing payment of the proceeds to the Trust. A copy of the January 16, 1998, letter from MetUfe denying the claim is attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit "0". 16. As set forth in its letter, Defendant MetLife has denied Plaintit'rs claim for the Decedent's additional life benefits based on its interpretation of the Decedent's Power of Attorney. MetLife avers that the February 3, 1997 change of beneficiary by the attorney-in-fact is invalid because the Power of Attorney did not contain a specific grant of authority regarding insurance contracts. 17. Decedent's Power of Attorney contains a general clause providing her attorney-in-fact with the "the fullest possible powers to act on my behalf: to transact business, make, execute and acknowledge all agreements, contracts. . . with the SllII1e powers and for all purposes with the same validity as I could, if personally present." 18. Defendant MetLife's narrow interpretation of the General Durable Power of Attorney is unreasonable and contrary to Pennsylvania law. Estate ofReifsneider, 610 A.2d 958 (pa. 1992); T~lor v. Vernon, 652 A.2d 912 (Pa. Super. 1992). COUNT I BREACH OF CONTRACT 19. Paragraphs I through 18 are incorporated by reference as though set forth herein at length. 20. The terms and conditions of the Defendant's Group Life Plan and beneficiary selections fonned a contract between MetLife and Decedent. A copy of the Group Life Plan was requested from the Plan Administrator, but said Administrator had only a summary of the Plan available. A copy of this summary is attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit"E". It is averred that the Defendant has a copy of the complete Plan and is not prejudiced by the failure to attach a copy to this Complaint. 21. By failing to pay its policy proceeds to the Trustee, as designated in the February 3, 1997, beneficiary selection, Defendant materially breached its contract with Decedent. WHEREFORE, Plaintiff demands judgment against Defendant in the amount of$50,ooO.00, plus interest and costs. .... COUNT II BAD FAITH 22. Paragraphs I through 21 are incorporated herein by reference as though set forth herein at length. 23. By its unreasonable actions, Defendant has acted in bad faith to Plaintiff. 24. Because of Defendant's bad faith, Plaintiff is entitled to punitive damages and attorneys fees. WHEREFORE, Plaintiff demands judgment against Defendant in the amount ofS50,ooo.00, plus interest and costs along with punitive damages and attorney's fees. COUNT III BREACH OF FIDUCIARY DUTY 25. Paragraphs I through 24 are incorporated herein by reference as though set forth herein at length. 26. By virtue of the special contractual relationship between Decedent and Defendant, Defendant has a fiduciary duty to Decedent and the beneficiaries of Decedent's life insurance. 27. In its delay and subsequent denial of the claim for the proceeds, Defendant violated its fiduciary duties. 28. Because Defendant violated its fiduciary duties, Plaintiff is entitled to punitive damages and attorneys' fees. WHEREFORE, Plaintiff demands judgment against Defendant in the amount ofS50,ooo.00, plus interest and costs along with punitive damages and attorneys' fees. ~"<p1t>>~~'\vrr..LIAMS & OlTO By ()~A~ f Daniel K.

Bloom Ten East High Street Carlisle, PA 17013 RE: Denise Murphy Group: Giant Food stores, Inc. Claim No.: 9765195 Dear Attorney Bloom This is in regards to the Group Life ,Insurance Claim for Denise Murphy. Denise Murphy designated on January 10, 1995, her minor children, Dawn Marie Weiss and Jason Lee Weiss, ,as her beneficiaries. On February 3, 1997, Debra Marchese, .acting under a Power of Attorney changed the beneficiary designation to "Trust under my will for benefit of Dawn Marie Weiss and Jason Lee Weiss (children)." The Power of Attorney grants Debra General powers and many specific powers, but not the authority to engage in insurance transactions. Since Debra was not given the "Authority to engage in insurance transactions" the claim for Debra Marchese as trustee under Denise Murphy's will for the benefit of Dawn Marie Weiss and Jason Lee Weiss must be denied. This claim was processed in accordance with the terms of the Employee's Benefit Plan. In the event the claim has been denied, in whole or in part, a request for a review of the claim can be made. This request for review should be sent to Group Claims Review, at the address of the Metropolitan Office which processed the claim, within 60 days after receipt of the notice of denial of the claim. When requesting a review, please state the reason you believe the claim was improperly denied, and submit any data, questions or comments to Metropolitan deemed appropriate. Metropolitan will re-evaluate all the data, and you will be informed of the decision in a timely manner.

Weiss and Executrix of the Estate of Denise Murphy, IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA Plaintiff v. NO. 98- l.3loS e.~~;::r~ METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, Defendant JURY TRIAL DEMANDED COMPLAINT AND NOW comes Debra Marchese, as Executrix of the Estate of Denise Murphy and Trustee of the testamentary trust created under the Last Will and Testament of Denise Murphy, by and through her attorneys, MARTSON, DEARDORFF, WILLIAMS & OTIO, and files this Complaint against Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, as follows: I. Plaintiff Debra Marchese is the Trustee of the Trust for the benefit of Dawn Marie Weiss and Jason Lee Weiss (hereinafter the "Trust"), established under the Last Will and Testament of Denise Murphy, dated December 31, 1996 (hereinafter the "Will"). Plaintiff Debra Marchese is named in the will as the Executrix of the Estate of Denise Murphy. A true and correct copy of said Will is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit "A." 2. Defendant Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (hereinafter "MetLife") is a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of New York and having a home office at I Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10010 and at all times stated hereafter conducted business in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, specifically in Cumberland County. 3. At all times pertinent hereto, Defendant was in the business of providing and or issuing life insurance policy coverage under a Group Life Plan to those eligible employees of Giant Food Stores, Inc. who selected additional life benefits. 4. At all times relevant hereto, Giant Food Stores, Inc. was the Plan Administrator and agent for service of process for Defendant MetLife for disputes arising out of the Plan. Giant Food Stores has an address of II Shady Lane, P.O. Box 249, Carlisle, Pennsylvania 17013. 4 .. ..., 5. On or about Janunry 10, 1995, Denise Murphy, Plnintill's Decedent, was an eligible employee ofGinnt Food Stores, Inc. On said dnte, Decedent selccted ndditionnllife benefit coverage under the Group Life Plan in the nmount of $50,000.00 and designated her two minor children, Dawn Weiss and Jason Weiss, as the beneficiaries. Coverage for this benefit under the Group Life Plan was provided through her employment at Giant Food Stores, Inc. by Defendant MetLife or its predecessor in interest. 6. During 1996, Decedent was diagnosed with cancer. 7. On December 31, 1996, Decedent contemporaneously executed her Will, a Living Will, and a Durable General Power of Attorney. The Will, as noted above, created the Trust for the benefit of Decedent's minor children. It was Decedent's intention and desire that her life insurance proceeds would flow directly into the Trust. 8. Decedent's Power of Attorney appointed her sister, Debra Marchese, as her attorney- in-fact. A true and correct copy of the Durable General Power of Attorney is attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit "B." 9. On or about February 3,1997, pursuant to the Power of Attorney, Debra Marchese effectuated a change of beneficiary for the Group Plan Life insurance benefits. A copy of this change of beneficiary is attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit "C" . 10. On March 16, 1997, Denise Murphy, then 36 years old, died. II. As of March 16, 1997, the $50,000.00 in additional life benefits were provided pursuant to the aforesaid policy through the Group Life Plan issued by Defendant MetLife. 12. On March 25,1997, Letters Testaraentary were granted to Plainliffby the Register of Wills for Cumberland County. 13. On or about July 7, 1997, John Hancock, which provided basic life benefits as part of Decedent's employment with Giant Food Stores, Inc. paid its policy benefits to the Trust, in accordance with the February 3, 1997 selection of beneficiaries. 14, Despite repeated demands, Defendant MetLife has refused to pay its additional life benefits. 15. Finally, ten months after Decedent's death, on January 16, 1998, Defendant MetLife issued a letter denying the claim and refusing payment of the proceeds to the Trust. A copy of the ~ .. ... January 16, 1998, letter from MetLife denying the claim is attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit "0". 16. As set forth in its letter, Defendant MelLife has denied Plaintirrs claim for the Decedent's additional life benefits based on its interpretation of the Decedent's Power of Attorney. MetLife avers that the February 3, 1997 change of beneficiary by the attorney-in-fact is invalid because the Power of Attorney did not contain a specific grant of authority regarding insurance contracts. 17. Dccedent's Power of Attorney contains a general clause providing her attorney-in-fact with the "the fullest possible powers to act on my behalf: to transact business, make, execute and acknowledge all agreements, contracts. . . with the same powers and for all purposes with the same validity as I could, if personally present." 18. Defendant MelLife's narrow interpretation of the General Durable Power of Attorney is unreasonable and contrary to Pennsylvania law. Estate ofReifsneider, 610 A.2d 958 (Pa. 1992); Taylorv. Vernon, 652 A,2d 912 (Pa. Super. 1992). COUNT I BREACH OF CONTRACT 19. Paragraphs I through 18 are incorporated by reference as though set forth herein at length. 20. The tenns and conditions of the Defendant's Group Life Plan and beneficiary selections fonned a contract between MetLife and Decedent. A copy of the Group Life Plan was requested from the Plan Administrator, but said Administrator had only a summary of the Plan available. A copy of this summary is attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit"E". It is averred that the Defendant has a copy of the complete Plan and is not prejudiced by the failure to attach a eopy to this Complaint. 21. By failing to pay its policy proceeds to the Trustee, as designated in the February 3, 1997, beneficiary selection, Defendant materially breached its contract with Decedent. WHEREFORE, Plaintiff demands judgment against Defendant in the amount of$50,OOO.00, plus interest and costs. " ... .., COUNT II BAD FAITH 22. Paragraphs I through 21 arc incorporatcd hcrcin by rcfcrcncc as though sct forth hcrcin atlcngth. 23. By its unrcasonablc actions, Dcfendant has actcd in bad faith to Plaintiff. 24. Because of Defendant's bad faith, Plaintiff is entitlcd to punitive damages and attorneys fecs. WHEREFORE, Plaintiff demandsjudgmcnt against Defendant in the amount of$50,OOO.00, plus interest and costs along with punitive damages and attorney's fees. COUNT III BREACH OF FIDUCIARY DUTY 25. Paragraphs 1 through 24 are incorporated herein by reference as though set forth herein at length. 26. By virtue of the special contractual relationship between Decedent and Defendant, Defendant has a fiduciary duty to Decedent and the beneficiaries of Decedent's life insurance. 27. In its delay and subsequent denial of the claim for the proceeds, Defendant violated its fiduciary duties. 28. Because Defendant violated its fiduciary duties, Plaintiff is entitled to punitive damages and attorneys' fees. WHEREFORE, Plaintiff demands jUdgment against Defendant in the amount of$50,OOO.00, plus interest and costs along with punitive damages and attorneys' fees. MARTSON, DEARDORFF, WILLIAMS & OlTO ~-1 k.

Bloom Ten East High Street Carlisle, PA 17013 Dear Attorney Bloom This is in regards to the Group Life Insurance Claim for Denise Murphy. Denise Murphy designated on January 10, 1995, her minor children, Dawn Marie Weiss and Jason Lee Weiss, .as her beneficiaries. On February 3, 1997, Debra Marchese, acting under a Power of Attorney changed the beneficiary designation to "Trust under my will for benefit of Dawn Marie Weiss and Jason Lee Weiss (children)." The Power of Attorney grants Debra General powers and many specific powers, but not the authority to engage in insurance transactions. Since Debra was not given the "Authority to engage in insurance transactions" the claim for Debra Marchese as trustee under Denise Murphy's will for the benefit of Dawn Marie Weiss and Jason Lee Weiss must be denied. This claim was processed in accordance with the terms of the Employee's Benefit Plan. In the event the claim has been denied, in whole or in part, a request for a review of the claim can be made. This request for review should be sent to Group Claims Review, at the address of the Metropolitan Office which processed the claim, within 60 days after receipt of the notice of denial of the claim.
