Shearing, D.J.,
dissenting in part:
I dissent because there is substantial evidence in the record to support the trial court’s findings that there was a consummation of a binding agreement between Speers and Tropicana and that that agreement was breached by the Tropicana. The testimony quoted in the majority opinion is out of context and only a minute part of the testimony presented at trial. The majority has substituted its own findings of fact for that of the trial judge who had the opportunity to see and hear the witnesses and to judge their credibility.
I would affirm the district court’s judgment awarding Speer damages for breach of the employment contract, as well as the district court’s decision denying Speer damages for breach of an alleged stock option agreement.1

The Governor designated The Honorable Miriam Shearing, Judge of the Eighth Judicial District Court, to sit in the place of The Honorable John C. Mowbray, Justice, who voluntarily disqualified himself. Nev. Const, art. 6 §4.
