L. L. S. Shoen V. Amero Inc‪.‬

Per Curium: Appellant Leonard S. Shoen (Shoen) entered into an employment contract with respondent Amerco, Inc. (Amerco), of which Shoen was the founder. The contract provided Shoen with employment for seven years, and an option to renew the contract for three subsequent seven-year periods. The contract further provided that it was the intent of the parties to provide Shoen with the right to be employed by Amerco for his lifetime. After seven years, Amerco terminated Shoen. Shoen sued Amerco for breach of contract, tortious breach of contract in violation of public policy, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and negligent infliction of emotional distress. The district court granted summary judgment on all claims. For the reasons stated below, we reverse and remand for trial on all claims except tortious breach of contract.
