U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 16-3113
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Davenport
[PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Shepherd, Circuit Judge, and Fenner,
District Judge]
Civil case - Contracts. The district court did not err in determining that
the noncompete provision in plaintiff's contract was unreasonable and
unenforceable; without controlling precedent from the Iowa Supreme Court,
the court predicts the Iowa Supreme Court would hold that the
enforceability of a noncompete provision is a question for the court.
