(December 30, 2016, 12:30 PM EST) -- PHILADELPHIA — A Third Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals panel on Dec. 8 affirmed dismissal of a plaintiff’s racial discrimination complaint against his former employer, saying that the former employee never identifies any provision of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act that requires the defendants to provide him with the pension plan information he requested and that his request went “far beyond” ERISA disclosure requirements (Daniel Galman Jr. v. Sysco Food Services of Metro New York LLC, et al., No. 16-1744, 3rd Cir.; 2016 U.S. App. LEXIS 21841)....
