   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  19-2011
   U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska - Omaha   
   [PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Benton, Circuit Judges, and Williams, 
   District Judges] 
   Civil Case - Diversity. Travelex Insurance Services, Inc. sued Lynn Barty 
   for violating its agreement not to compete. The district court erred in 
   concluding the agreement was unenforceable, by concluding that the 2008 
   agreement became a nullity when Travelex was acquired Cover-More and Barty 
   refused to sign a new agreement as a condition of continued employment and 
   was terminated. We disagree that Barty's refusal to sign a new agreement 
   nullified the prior agreement. Barty's alternative argument that under New 
   York law restrictive covenants may not be enforced when an employee is 
   dismissed without cause, does not apply here, as the non-solicitation 
   agreement is not unreasonable as a matter of law.
