   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  17-1341
   U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska - Lincoln   
   [PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Beam and Colloton, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Agency. After Lincoln incurred coverage on insurance policies 
   issued by Wilson, its agent, it brought this action for indemnity or 
   contribution, breach of contract and negligence, arguing Wilson improperly 
   sold the insurance policies in violation of his training and company 
   policy; the district court did not err in granting Wilson summary judgment 
   on Lincoln's claim for damages on the ground the claims were collaterally 
   estopped by the New York judgment finding coverage under the policies; 
   additionally, the court did not err in precluding Lincoln from asserting 
   as a defense against Wilson's counterclaim for commissions that he 
   breached his agent's contract in connection with the sale of the policies; 
   no error in granting Wilson prejudgment interest on his liquidated damage 
   claims.
