1Opinion of the Court
McKAY, Circuit Judge.
Plaintiff David Geras, a former employee of Defendant IBM, appeals from the district court’s Rule 12(b)(6) dismissal of his contract claims against IBM for commission payments and separation pay. The district court concluded that Plaintiffs contract claim for commission payments failed because IBM’s employee incentive plan did not constitute an enforceable contract. As for Plaintiffs claim for separation pay, the court concluded that Plaintiff was not entitled to this pay because he had not complied with the requirement to sign a release of claims. This appeal followed.
