Hopper v. Anthem Blue Cross of California CA2/8
Douglas Hopper appeals from a judgment denying his petition to vacate an arbitration award and confirming the award in favor of respondent Anthem Blue Cross of California (Anthem). The award involved fraudulent claims submitted to Anthem by Hopper’s agent and Anthem’s recoupment of payments made for those claims. Hopper argues the arbitration award should be vacated because the arbitration panel refused to allow him to pursue a claim under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) (29 U.S.C. § 1001 et seq.). Because the panel correctly concluded he did not have authority to bring an ERISA claim, we affirm.
