Ricky Hendrix v. Municipal Health Benefit Fund

Summary

The court affirmed summary judgment for the Municipal Health Benefit Fund, holding that Hendrix's challenge to the Fund's administration of health benefits was a challenge to trustee action rather than a breach-of-contract claim. Because the trustees' duties were governed by the trust instrument and the Policy Booklet was merely an extension of the Trust, Hendrix failed to state a proper contract claim. The court did not reach the damages issue because summary judgment for the Fund was affirmed. No separate opinions were filed.
