1Opinion of the CourtJustice McDONOUGH

Plaintiff, James S. Buck, appeals from an order granting summary judgment in favor of defendants Billings Montana Chevrolet, Frontier Chevrolet, F. S. Enterprises, Inc., Frank Stinson and Dennis Menholt. The District Court of the Thirteenth Judicial District, Yellowstone County, held that the reasons asserted by defendants for Buck’s discharge constituted a legitimate business reason under the Wrongful Discharge from Employment Act, Sections 39-2-701 et seq., MCA. It therefore granted summary judgment and dismissed Buck’s lawsuit. We affirm in part and reverse in part.
