J. Hollander grants Johns Hopkins Health Systems its motion to quash allegations of ERISA violations by a former hospital worker. When Johns Hopkins School of Medicine moved to Health Systems, the worker was offered “a paltry severance” in exchange for losing access to her full pension. However, Health Systems was not properly served with the worker’s complaint in the first place and so was not given the chance to respond. Also, the worker is granted leave to amend her complaint.
