Heading: Polley’s Breach of Contract Claims

Text: On appeal, Polley raises several breach of contract claims with respect to deferred compensation, severance pay, and the company car that he used while employed with Mohawk. After review, we conclude that all of the plaintiff’s breach of contract claims lack merit, and we affirm the district court’s grant of summary judgment on Polley’s contract claims for the reasons stated in the district court’s well-reasoned and thorough March 9, 2005 order. 1 We reject Polley’s argument that pretext is evidenced by Thornton’s statement that Polley’s termination was to “make way for the future.” We do not think there is any evidence of discriminatory intent to be inferred by this statement. 5 AFFIRMED. 6
