Overview: Insured, who had been receiving disability benefits from the insurer due to a heart attack he had suffered, but was no longer receiving those benefits based on the insurer's determination, pointed to nothing beyond the mere existence of a conflict of interest to show that the insurer's decision was motivated by self-interest.

R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6) motion.

It was not an abuse of discretion for the bankruptcy court to approve debtors' modified Chapter 13 plan under 11 U.S.C.S. § 1329.
