Generally no. ERISA requires plans include reasonable claims procedures, and include the opportunity to appeal a claim denial to a named fiduciary of the plan. You must exhaust all administrative claims procedures before filing a complaint in court. If you fail to exhaust these procedures, your case will almost certainly be dismissed for failure to do so. Only in rare circumstances will a court determine exhaustion was not required because, for example, it would have been futile.
