SUMMARY ORDER

RULINGS BY SUMMARY ORDER DO NOT HAVE PRECEDENTIAL EFFECT. CITATION TO A SUMMARY ORDER FILED ON OR AFTER JANUARY 1, 2007, IS PERMITTED AND IS GOVERNED BY FEDERAL RULE OF APPELLATE PROCEDURE 32.1 AND THIS COURT'S LOCAL RULE 32.1.1. WHEN CITING A SUMMARY ORDER IN A DOCUMENT FILED WITH THIS COURT, A PARTY MUST CITE EITHER THE FEDERAL APPENDIX OR AN ELECTRONIC DATABASE (WITH THE NOTATION "SUMMARY ORDER"). A PARTY CITING TO A SUMMARY ORDER MUST SERVE A COPY OF IT ON ANY PARTY NOT REPRESENTED BY COUNSEL.

UPON DUE CONSIDERATION, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.

Plaintiff-appellant Suellen Tritt, appeals the district court's grant of judgment on the administrative record for Defendants-Appellees. Plaintiff filed this action to recover disability benefits allegedly owed her under her former employer's ERISA-covered long-term disability insurance plan. We assume the parties' familiarity with the underlying facts and procedural history of the case. The only argument Tritt makes on appeal is that the district court improperly interpreted a clause in her insurance policy limiting benefits for psychiatric disabilities. Since this issue was not presented to the district court, we need not entertain it here. Greene v. United States, 13 F.3d 577, 585-86 (2d Cir. 1994). In any event, the clause is unambiguous and was properly interpreted by the district court.

Accordingly, we AFFIRM the judgment of the district court.1
