New Millennium Consulting, et al v. United Healthcare Services

by
United HealthCare hired Chimes, a centralized vendor management company, to assist it with the procurement and management of contingent workers. Chimes entered into supplier contracts with New Millennium and Pacific Management, among others, to provide the contingent labor to United HealthCare. New Millennium and Pacific Management brought this putative class action against United HealthCare, alleging that it was liable to them and other suppliers for the unpaid bills as the principal of Chimes. Because Chimes was not an agent of United HealthCare under prevailing Minnesota law, the court affirmed the district court's denial of class certification and grant of summary judgment to United HealthCare.
