Richardson v. Matin
Benning and Christopher Richardson (Richardsons) appeal from orders granting the motions of defendants, Barbara Matin (Matin) and Wendell McArthur (McArthur), to quash service of summons for lack of personal jurisdiction. The Richardsons assert three grounds for reversal. They argue that Matin and McArthur had the necessary minimum contacts to warrant personal jurisdiction over them in California; that the trial court’s consideration of the motions to quash was beyond its authority because a motion to transfer was also pending; and that Matin and McArthur waived their personal jurisdiction defense through other actions taken in the proceedings. We conclude that the trial court properly found no constitutionally sufficient basis for California to exercise jurisdiction over either Matin or McArthur. Thus, we affirm.
