Moore v. State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance

Opinion

PER CURIAM: *

James Moore, a former State Farm insurance agent, sued the State Farm defendants for, inter alia, breach of contract. The defendants counterclaimed for a declaratory judgment. The jury returned a verdict for the defendants on all grounds, but the district court declined to issue a declaratory judgment.

We have reviewed the briefs on appeal and pertinent portions of the record and have heard the arguments of counsel. There is sufficient evidence to support the verdict and no adequate grounds to undermine it. There is no pertinent bar of res judicata. The district court did not abuse its discretion in refusing a declaratory judgment. Because we find no reversible error, the judgment is in all respects AFFIRMED.

*

Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
