Does a federal judge have jurisdiction to make an in personam judgment in the Superior Court of Justice?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Browne v. Mutual Fire Marine, 883 F.2d 1023 (9th Cir. 1989):
This order does not undermine the jurisdiction of the Pennsylvania courts, nor does it conflict with a final judgment. The doctrine prohibiting competing in rem jurisdictions is inapplicable to judgments entered upon in personam claims. See Commonwealth Trust v. Bradford, 297 U.S. 613, 617 (1936) (doctrine no bar although federal court had entered an in personam judgment that money was "due and payable" from the res under the state court's jurisdiction).
