MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Hanson v. Noch, Case No. 19-cv-01326-BAS-WVG (S.D. Cal. 2020):

jurisdiction exists only if: (1) the out-of-state defendant purposefully availed itself of the privilege of conducting activities in the forum, thereby invoking the benefits and protections of the forum's laws; (2) the cause of action arose out of the defendant's forum-related activities; and (3) the exercise of jurisdiction is reasonable. Myers v. Bennett Law Offices, 238 F.3d 1068, 1072 (9th Cir. 2001).
