                           ORDER AMENDING OPINION

ROTH, Circuit Judge

             IT IS ORDERED that the Not Precedential Opinion in the above case filed
October 28, 2003, be amended as follows:

                On page 4, second to last sentence in the last paragraph after “experience”.

issue here, its decision to terminate benefits is reviewed under a ‘heightened arbitrary and
capricious standard.’ Pinto v. Reliance Standard Life Ins. Co., 

, 378 (3d Cir.
2000).

                                          By the Court,
