   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  14-2174
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Kelly, Author, with Gruender, Shepherd, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Contracts. The evidence was sufficient to support the jury 
   verdict that defendant had violated the provisions of his Agent Agreement 
   by contacting former customers after plaintiff terminated him and inducing 
   them to cancel their policies and place their insurance with him; 
   admission of another agent's testimony that defendant had, in his view, 
   violated the Agent Agreement was a small portion of his overall testimony 
   and was not so prejudicial that a new trial would likely produce a 
   different result; with respect to defendant's counterclaim that his Agent 
   Agreement had been wrongfully terminated, the district court did not err 
   in rejecting his proposed instruction on "dishonest," as the court 
   properly instructed the jury under applicable Wisconsin law; the court did 
   not err in determining that a provision of the Agent Agreement was a valid 
   stipulated-damages clause rather than an unenforceable penalty.
