Executive Summary
A pro se plaintiff's lawsuit against Verizon Wireless was dismissed with prejudice by the District of New Jersey. The court found the claims under 41 U.S.C. § 6503 (government contracts) and 29 U.S.C. § 1109 (ERISA fiduciary duties) legally inapplicable to a dispute over a $497.97 account deposit. This is a complete win for Verizon with zero financial exposure.
