Fleming grants the fired business partner's motion to dismiss, ruling the employment agreement between the partner, the business and the other co-founder does not establish a contract between the two partners; therefore, the co-founder cannot bring breach of contract claims. Meanwhile, because the two partners did not share profits or losses and did not have mutual agency over the business, there was no special relationship to support the fiduciary duty claim, which will also be dismissed.
