• holding that “cause of action for breach of contract ordinarily accrues and the limitations period begins to run upon breach”
• holding that where “there [i]s no underlying federal claim[,] the district court could not have looked to federal common law to determine when Plaintiff’s breach of contract claim accrued”
• concluding that a plaintiff could have discovered a fraud, where a “dearth of documents” evidencing an oral promise to the plaintiff “should have suggested to [the plaintiff] that something was awry”
• holding that because an at-will employment relationship may be completed within a year, full performance of an employment agreement’s provision obliging employer to make a $10,000 contribution to plaintiff’s pension fund was not in violation of the Statute of Frauds
• holding plaintiff was on inquiry notice that defendant misrepresented contributing to pension plan when plaintiff had no documentation of pension plan and requests for documentary evidence of plan were unsuccessful
• affirming dismissal of fraud claim New York law as duplicative of plaintiff’s breach of contract claim
