Description
KANNE, Circuit Judge. The defendant, Lady Baltimore Foods, Inc. (""Lady Baltimore""), appeals the district court's grant of summary judgment in favor of the plaintiffs, the trustees of the Central States, Southeast and Southwest Areas Pension Fund (""Pension Fund""). Specifically, Lady Baltimore challenges the district court's decision that 29 U.S.C. § 1461(h)(1) was unconstitutional. This statute purported to exempt Lady Baltimore from withdrawal liability under the Multiemployer Pension Plan Adjustment Act of 1980 (""MPPAA""), 29 U.S.C. §Â§ 1381-1461.1 Lady Baltimore also challenges the district court's award of interim withdrawal liability payments to the Pension Fund. For the reasons set out below, we affirm the district court's award of interim withdrawal liability payments, but we reverse the grant of summary judgment against Lady Baltimore as to the constitutionality of 29 U.S.C. § 1461(h)(1), vacate the district court's decision that this statute was unconstitutional, and remand the entire matter for arbitration.
