Affirmed
Dist. Ct. did not err in granting defendant-employer’s motion for summary judgment in action by plaintiff-employee alleging that defendant breached employment contract by failing to give him duties of project control manager of certain construction project. Terms of instant contract indicated that plaintiff would be given title of project control manager at specific job site and with specific salary, and plaintiff received all three promised items. Moreover, plaintiff could not use extrinsic evidence to establish what duties he would be doing where terms of instant contract were unambiguous, and weight of extrinsic evidence would have supported defendant’s claim that plaintiff was to be given title of project control manger, but duties of different position.
