Com. (a) quot. in ftn. Public employee brought a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of State and the Secretary of State, alleging, inter alia, that he was subjected to a hostile work environment and was discriminated against on the basis of race. This court granted defendants' motion to dismiss, holding that plaintiff's claims were barred by a settlement agreement in which plaintiff had agreed to withdraw all claims for defendants' alleged conduct that occurred prior to the agreement and defendants had agreed to take actions to facilitate plaintiff's career advancements. The court cited Restatement of Contracts § 81, Comment a, in explaining that the settlement agreement had legally sufficient consideration because both parties had assented to their respective promises as being the price of their benefits under the agreement. Moore v. United States Department of State, 351 F.Supp.3d 76, 89. TOPIC 4. INFORMAL CONTRACTS WITHOUT ASSENT OR CONSIDERATION § 90.

This court granted summary judgment for provider on plaintiffs' promissory-estoppel claim, holding that it was undisputed that a valid agreement governed the parties' respective rights and obligations, including provider's duty to indemnify plaintiffs, and that plaintiffs therefore could not state a claim for promissory estoppel in connection with that same promise under Restatement of Contracts § 90. Madison County v. Evanston Insurance Company, 340 F.Supp.3d 1232, 1290. Iowa, 2018. Cit. in cases cit. in sup. Farmer who was leased land by decedent brought a lawsuit against decedent's estate, alleging, inter alia, that, under the theory of promissory estoppel, decedent had made an enforceable promise to sell him the leased land, because plaintiff had made substantial improvements to the land while relying on the promise. The trial court granted defendant's motion for summary judgment. The court of appeals affirmed in part and reversed in part. This court vacated the decision of the court of appeals and reversed in part and remanded, holding, inter alia, that there was a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether plaintiff had made his improvements on the land in reliance upon decedent's alleged promise.
