Rosa lived in State J for many years, owned a home there, voted there, and held a State J driver's license. She then spent eight months in State K for a temporary medical fellowship, intending to return to State J when the fellowship ended. During the fellowship, she was sued in State J state court for a contract she signed while physically in State K. A process server personally served Rosa while she was in State J for a weekend family wedding.
Rosa removed the case to federal court in State J based on diversity. Her first Rule 12 motion sought dismissal only for improper venue and failure to state a claim. After losing that motion, Rosa moved to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction, arguing that the contract had nothing to do with State J and that she was only briefly in State J when served.
Should the court grant Rosa's personal-jurisdiction motion? Discuss.
