Tenth Circuit: Interacting with Plaintiff in Forum State Insufficient to Establish Personal Jurisdiction | Practical Law
In Rockwood Select Asset Fund XI (6)-1, LLC v. Devine, Millimet & Branch, the US Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit held that personal jurisdiction could not be exercised over a defendant with no contacts to the forum state based on the defendant's interactions with a plaintiff who had strong connections to the forum state, even where the defendant knew about those connections.
