AEP Energy Services v. Heartland Regional Medical Center
Petition for certiorari denied on May 4, 2015.
Issue
(1) Whether due process permits a court to exercise specific personal jurisdiction over non-consenting, out-of-state defendants based on the plaintiffs" bare allegation that the defendants engaged in a nationwide conspiracy outside the forum that had an intended effect inside the forum (as well as presumably in every other state); and (2) whether due process permits a court to exercise specific personal jurisdiction over non-consenting, out-of-state defendants when the defendants" limited forum conduct bears no causal relationship to the plaintiffs" claim.
