CASE NO. 2:03CV-00155
December 19, 2003
David W. Tufts, Gabriel S. Clark, DURHAM JONES PINEGAR, P.C., Salt Lake City, Utah for Plaintiff
[PROPOSED] ORDER
On December 1, 2003, the Court held oral arguments on Defendant's Motion to Dismiss Plaintiffs Complaint, or for Summary Judgment, for Lack of Personal Jurisdiction (the "Motion"). Plaintiff appeared by counsel and was represented by David W. Tufts and Gabriel S. Clark of the law firm of Durham Jones Pinegar, P.C. Defendant appeared by counsel and was represented by Curtis D. Smith of the law firm of Moss Barnett, P. A., appearing pro hac vice. Having considered the documents submitted by the parties, and having heard and considered the arguments of counsel for both parties, and good cause appearing therefore,
THE COURT HEREBY FINDS that:
(1) Defendant has conducted business in the state of Utah and has thereby committed an act enumerated by Utah's long-arm statute.
(2) There is a nexus between Plaintiffs claims and Defendant's contact with the state of Utah,
(3) Defendant's contacts with the state of Utah are sufficient so that exercising jurisdiction over Defendant does not offend traditional notions of fair play and substantial justice.
(4) Therefore, this Court may exercise specific personal jurisdiction over the person of the Defendant.
THE COURT HEREBY ORDERS that the Motion is denied.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
