Supreme Court limits personal jurisdiction over out-of-state defendants
Jones Day - lexology.com
Meir Feder and Eric E. Murphy - July 1 2011
On June 27, 2011, the Supreme Court issued a pair of important decisions limiting state courts' personal jurisdiction over out-of-state defendants, Goodyear Dunlop Tires Operations, S.A. v. Brown, No. 10-76 (U.S. June 27, 2011), and J. McIntyre Machinery, Ltd. v. Nicastro, No. 09-1343 (U.S. June 27, 2011). The Court addressed the two basic categories of personal jurisdiction—general jurisdiction and specific jurisdiction—and endorsed narrower limits on both than have been applied by many lower courts. The general jurisdiction decision, Goodyear, significantly clarified what has been a murky legal standard, and did so in a way that presents significant new opportunities for corporations to avoid jurisdiction in improper forums. In the specific jurisdiction case, McIntyre, the Court's inability to agree on a majority opinion injected additional confusion into an already unsettled area.

Casey Anthony subpoenaed in Zenaida Gonzalez case
ORLANDO -- cfnews.com 6/6/11
Casey Anthony has been subpoenaed to give a deposition in the Zenaida Gonzalez case against her.
Anthony is due to give the deposition July 19 in attorney John Morgan's office in downtown Orlando.
“One of the things that I think America doesn't want is for her to profit,” Morgan said.

Morgan brought the civil case against Anthony in September 2008, one month before she was indicted for murder.
Now she could be on the verge of walking out of jail.
“My first reaction was wow,” Morgan said. “My second reaction was about my own case. ‘Game on. Here we go.’”
Morgan said he needed to act fast and dispatched a process server to lay a subpoena on Anthony personally.

Florida Couple Threatens Bank With Foreclosure
TAMARA LUSH - Associated Press
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. June 6, 2011 (AP)
Months after Bank of America wrongly foreclosed on a house Warren and Maureen Nyerges had already paid for, they were still fighting to get reimbursed for the court battle.
So on Friday, their attorney showed up at a branch office in Naples with a moving truck and sheriff's deputies who had a judge's permission to seize the furniture if necessary. An hour later, the bank had written a check for $5,772.88.
"The branch manager was visibly shaken," attorney Todd Allen said Monday, recalling the visit to the bank last week. "At that point I was willing to take the desk and the chair he was sitting in."

Deceased homeowner served with foreclosure papers

Some homeowners trying to defend themselves against foreclosure have said the lender didn’t properly serve them.
And in one recent case, the homeowner wasn’t properly served because he was dead, Sunrise lawyer Andrew Dinnerstein said.
Dinnerstein, who’s representing the family of the deceased, said in court papers that a representative of process server ProVest served the homeowner on April 21, 2011. But the homeowner had passed away Aug. 4, 2010.
Dinnerstein is not identifying the man to protect the family's privacy.
