Text: 19 Convergys alleges that Georgia has no significant contacts with the parties or events giving rise to the dispute and argues that the application of Georgia law to the NCA is therefore unconstitutional under Allstate Ins. Co. v. Hague, 449 U.S. 302, 308, 101 S.Ct. 633, 637-38, 66 L.Ed.2d 521 (1981). Keener is once again on point. The application of Georgia law is not arbitrary or constitutionally impermissible because Convergys would be attempting to enforce the NCA against Keener, who is living and working in Georgia, where the effects would be felt. Keener, 342 F.3d at 1267-68. That is also true in this case. Despite Convergys's assertions to the contrary, the fact that Manuel conducted legal research before relocating to Georgia to live and work does not render the application of Georgia law to the NCA unconstitutional. 20 Applying Keener, the district court did not err in concluding that the NCA was contrary to Georgia public policy and that Georgia law therefore applied. See id. at 1267-68. Under Georgia law, the court correctly held that the NCA was unenforceable due to its overbreadth and indeterminate geographic reach. See id. Convergys does not dispute that the NCA is unenforceable under Georgia law.
