VERSUS

JUDGE ROBERT G. JAMES

L.P. BROWN COMPANY, INC.

MAG. JUDGE KAREN L. HAYES

JUDGMENT
For the reasons set forth in this Court’s Ruling,
IT IS ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that Plaintiff Charles S. Bell’s Motion
for Summary Judgment [Doc. No. 6] is GRANTED. The forum selection clause contained in the
non-compete agreement between the parties is DECLARED null and void under LA. REV. STAT.
23:921A(2). Under Louisiana law, the non-compete agreement is geographically overbroad and
is thus DECLARED unenforceable.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that Defendant L.P.
Brown Company, Inc.’s counterclaim is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.
MONROE, LOUISIANA, this 2nd day of February, 2015.
