"Appellant Roger Smith appeals the district court's dismissal of his claims without prejudice because of improper venue. The district court held that the venue selection clause in the [ERISA-governed] AEGON Pension Plan requiring that suit be brought in federal court in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, was enforceable and applied to Smith's claims.... We AFFIRM.... [N]one of the statutory provisions Smith cites provides a reason not to apply the venue selection provision to both his fiduciary and benefits claims.

Oct. 14, 2014)]  MORE >>
