Callico v. United States

How later courts describe this case

• holding that available state remedies precluded plaintiff’s claim that she was deprived of liberty interest without procedural due process
• holding that the use of fund assets to fend off a hostile tender offer, since made without sufficient inquiry into the facts, constitutes a violation of the fiduciary standards under ERISA
• holding that "truck drivers and yard workers [who] transport [an integrated poultry producer's] poultry between independent contract growers, which raise the chickens to market weight, and the company's processing plant" were "employees," rather than "agricultural laborers," under the Act
• Due Process not violated “if the state provides reasonable remedies for preventing families from being arbitrarily broken up by local domestic relations officers.”
• trustees must make decisions with an eye single to the interests of the participants and beneficiaries
• adoptive grandmother, who served as de facto mother had liberty interest in continued custody of several children
• corporate officers who are also trustees of the firm’s pension plan are fiduciaries within the meaning of ERISA
• pursuant to a fiduciary’s duty of loyalty, all decisions regarding an ERISA plan “must be made with an eye single to the interests of the participants and beneficiaries.”
