CASE SUMMARY:    
In this unanimous per curiam Opinion, the Court of Appeals held that pursuant to the decision by the United States Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals in Northern Group Services v Auto Owners, the federal ERISA statute did not preempt the coordination of benefits provisions of §3109a of the no-fault statute. Therefore, plaintiff no-fault insurance company was entitled to reimbursement from defendant employee benefit plan.
