CASE SYNOPSIS
Defendant manufacturer appealed decisions of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana, which granted injunctive relief in favor of plaintiff distributor in a contract dispute.

CASE FACTS
Plaintiff was the exclusive distributor of certain home appliances manufactured by defendant.

Defendant challenged the district court's finding that the termination was arbitrary and without cause.

HOLDING
On appeal, the court held that an arbitrary termination was permissible under both the contract and the law of Iowa.

CONCLUSION
The court reversed the district court and vacated the injunction, stating that an arbitrary termination was permissible under both the contract and the law of Iowa.
