1Opinion of the Court

HARLINGTON WOOD, Jr., Circuit Judge.

In August of 1984 the Commercial Office of Spain hired Enrique Segni to develop a market for Spanish wines in the midwest-em United States. In March of 1985 Segni was fired, whereupon he filed this lawsuit in the district court. The Commercial Office moved for dismissal, claiming immunity from suit under the terms of the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1602 et seq. (“FSIA”). The district court denied the motion, and the Commercial Office appeals. We affirm for the reasons expressed herein.
