Opinion
No. 4D04-3722.
February 2, 2005. Rehearing Denied March 28, 2005.
Appeal of a non-final order from the Circuit Court for the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit, Broward County; Patti Englander Henning, Judge; L.T. Case No. 03-018896 CACE(03).
Thomas M. Gonzalez and Luis A. Cabassa of Thompson, Sizemore Gonzalez, Tampa, for appellant.
Jon K. Stage and Eric K. Gabrielle of Stearns, Weaver, Miller, Weissler, Alhadeff Sitterson, P.A., Fort Lauderdale, for appellee.
The trial court granted AutoNation's motion for temporary injunction to enforce a non-compete agreement signed by appellant, an employee. We find no abuse of discretion in the enforcement of the non-compete agreement, which prohibited appellant from competing against AutoNation within fifty miles of the location where he was employed, or within ten miles of any other AutoNation dealer, for a one year period. We accordingly affirm.
POLEN, KLEIN and SHAHOOD, JJ., concur.
