Kevin Rooney, Plaintiff, v. Michael G. Tyson, Defendant. No. 76 COURT OF APPEALS OF NEW YORK May 5, 1998, Argued June 4, 1998, DecidedTrainer Agreement • October 19th, 2009
A precise issue in this Federal case is certified to this Court by the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. We are asked to provide an authoritative statement on the threshold question of whether an oral personal services contract between a fight trainer and a boxer to last "for as long as the boxer fights professionally" provides a definite legally cognizable duration. Conversely, the problem can be framed as whether this temporal description constitutes an employment for an indefinite period, within the strictures of New York's at-will employment doctrine.
