Hunter v. Serv-Tech
Citation:
2009 WL 2858089 (E.D. La. 2009)Facts
Plaintiffs filed a complaint against Defendants in November 2007. Defendants moved to dismiss the first complaint for insufficiency of service of process in June 2008. In their motion, Defendants included language that objected to the court’s jurisdiction and purported to reserve future rights to challenge personal and subject matter jurisdiction and raise other defenses. Plaintiff filed an amended complaint in July 2008. Defendant answered the amended complaint in September 2008. Defendants’ first motion to dismiss was denied. Defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint for lack of personal jurisdiction, asserting that it lacked minimum contacts with the forum. Plaintiffs opposed the motion, arguing that Defendants waived their objections to personal jurisdiction pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 12(g)(2) and 12(h)(1).
