Opinion
Civil Action No. 07-cv-02579-LTB.
October 2, 2008
ORDER
This wrongful death action is before me on Defendant, Heidi Connolly, M.D.'s, Motion to Dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction [ Docket # 4]. The motion was filed on June 16, 2008, and Plaintiff did not file a response. A review of the Complaint [ Docket # 1] shows Plaintiff failed to allege any basis for personal jurisdiction. Defendant — at all times relevant to Plaintiff's claims — was a resident of Minnesota and all relevant acts occurred there. Accordingly, the Complaint is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE and the case is CLOSED. See Carribean Broad. Sys., Ltd. v. Cable Wireless, PLC, 148 F.3d 1080, 1089-90 (D.C. Cir. 1998) (holding dismissal for lack of personal jurisdiction was proper when the plaintiff failed to offer any facts supporting long-arm jurisdiction in response to motion to dismiss). Each party shall bear its own costs.
