Description

TORRUELLA, Chief Judge. This appeal comes to us on the basis of diversity jurisdiction. The parties agree that it is governed by the substantive law of the state of Massachusetts. The plaintiff is the former chief executive officer of the defendant corporation, and his claims stem from an alleged breach of his employment agreement with the defendant. Specifically, the plaintiff maintains that the district court improperly granted the defendants summary judgment motion because there were genuine issues of material fact as to whether 1) the defendant breached its agreement to create a long-term incentive plan and communicate its goals to the plaintiff; 2) the doctrine of promissory estoppel required that the defendant create a long-term incentive plan; 3) the defendant fired the plaintiff in bad faith, in order to deprive him of a benefit to which he was entitled; and 4) the defendant deceived the plaintiff concerning its intention to establish a long-term incentive plan. For the following reasons, we affirm the district courts grant of summary judgment.
