John David HAGADORN, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. CALIFORNIA FIELD IRONWORKERS TRUST FUNDS, Defendant-Appellee, 549 F. App'x 650

MEMORANDUM John Hagadorn appeals a

summary judgment in favor of the California Field Ironworkers Trust Funds (Funds). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 and affirm. 1. Hagadorn failed to exhaust the available administrative remedies under a pension trust fund governed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), 29 U.S.C. §§ 1001-1461, and did not demonstrate that doing so would have been futile. Hagadorn’s allegation that an employee of the Funds forged his disability certifícate is not supported by evidence in the record.

And, the numerous communications between Hagadorn and the Funds concerning benefits contradict his claim that it would have been futile for him to file an administrative appeal. 2. Because there was no evidence supporting Hagadorn’s fraud claim, the district court did not err in concluding that equitable tolling did not preserve Haga-dorn’s untimely claims for benefits. Nor did Hagadorn’s asserted forgetfulness, confusion, and anxiety toll the statute of limitations. 3. Hagadorn’s argument that the district court abused its discretion in denying his Rule 60(

b) motion is also without merit. The district court did not abuse its discretion in concluding that information about Hagadorn’s asserted mental conditions was not newly discovered. AFFIRMED. This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
