Description
Misty Dawn Davis (Davis) appeals from the district court's summary judgment denying her death benefits as her father's beneficiary. Her father, Kenneth Davis, a former employee of Kentucky Finance Company, Inc. (KFC), was murdered by his wife. The dispute concerns whether the decedent still was employed by KFC at the time of his death. The district court denied Davis's claim for death benefits, finding that the Retirement Committee (the Committee) which administers the KFC retirement plan was correct in deciding that Kenneth Davis was no longer an employee at the time of his death for purposes of the plan. The court also held that determination of this issue was not collaterally estopped on the basis of a decision by the Kentucky Supreme Court finding that the decedent still was a KFC employee at the time of his death for purposes of his life insurance policy. Woodson v. Manhattan Life Insurance Co., 743 S.W.2d 835 (Ky. 1987). Finally, the court denied Davis's motion to join individual members of the Committee as defendants. We affirm.
