Moreover, in her response to Cabletron's summary judgment motion, the plaintiff conceded that she "filed a claim solely on a Federal question of [E]RISA," (emphasis added), but had pendent State law claims which "could have accompanied the original complaint or would have been properly allowed as an amendment to the complaint," (emphasis added).
She asserts that absent Cabletron's time extension to answer the federal complaint, she could have discovered her mistaken reliance on ERISA and filed her claim in superior court before the limitations period expired.
Cabletron contends that she failed to preserve this argument because she first raised it in a motion to reconsider the trial court's summary judgment order.
