Stephen D. Little, Gateway Office Building, Bismarck, ND, for appellant.

Jacqueline Sue Anderson, Special Assistant Attorney General, Fargo, ND, for appellee.

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

[¶ 1] Huffman Incorporated (“Huffco”) appeals from a district court judgment affirming an administrative law judge's order finding Huffco's drivers are employees. Huffco argues its drivers are independent contractors and not employees because the greater weight of the evidence shows that Huffco's drivers agreed to work as independent contractors, continued working as independent contractors, were treated as independent contractors and accepted the benefits of being independent contractors. We summarily affirm the district court judgment under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(5).

[¶ 2] GERALD W. VANDE WALLE, C.J., DANIEL J. CROTHERS, LISA FAIR McEVERS, CAROL RONNING KAPSNER, and DALE V. SANDSTROM, JJ., concur.
