With no explanation, chose the best option from "A", "B", "C" or "D". is a participant or beneficiary within the meaning of section 1132. A first reading of the statutory language might suggest that dismissal of Lee was inappropriate. In Menhorn v. Firestone Tire & Rubber Co., 738 F.2d 1496, 1503 (9th Cir.1984), however, we concluded that a plain reading of the statutes is not sufficient. Menhom held that section 1144 limits the application of section 1132. Thus, even if a plaintiff is a “participant or beneficiary” of a plan, no federal subject matter jurisdiction exists unless the acts critical to the action occurred after January 1, 1975. We note that other circuits have criticized Menhom. See, e.g., Jameson v. Bethlehem Steel Corporation Pension Plan, 765 F.2d 49, 52 (3d Cir.1985); see also Reiherzer v. Shannon, 581 F.2d 1266, 1271-72 (7th Cir.1978) (<HOLDING>); but see Quinn v. Country Club Soda Co., 639
