           for the Western District of Pennsylvania
             (D.C. Civil Action No. 03-cv-00985)
          District Judge: Honorable Arthur J. Schwab


          Submitted Under Third Circuit LAR 34.1(a)

Before: SCIRICA, Chief Judge, ROTH and AMBRO, Circuit Judges

                (Opinion filed: March 30, 2005)




                          OPINION
AMBRO, Circuit Judge

       James Lacko appeals from the District Court’s grant of summary judgment, which

upheld the decision of an arbitrator denying Lacko a certain type of pension benefit, in

favor of the Trustees of the United Mine Workers of America 1974 Pension Plan. For the

reasons stated in the arbitrator’s excellent decision in every respect (depth, organization,

and rationale), we affirm the District Court’s determination.
