Bases for personal jurisdiction

Section 302 permits specific personal jurisdiction over a non-domiciliary when its statutory conditions for in-state business activity or tortious conduct are met.

Bonhac World Corporation v. Mellin Works LLC · filed 2023-01-20(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3)

Specific personal jurisdiction may apply if the criteria of § 302(a)(1), § 302(a)(2), or § 302(a)(3) are met. ... Therefore, specific jurisdiction does not apply to Defendant under § 302(a)(1). ... § 302(a)(2) permits courts to exercise “personal jurisdiction over any non-domiciliary ... who in person or through an agent ... commits a tortious act within the state....” ... Thus, the Court cannot exercise personal jurisdiction over any Defendant under § 302(a)(3).

Section 302(a)(1) requires purposeful availment through New York business or a contract to supply goods or services there, plus a nexus between that activity and the claim.

Economy Premier Assur. Co. v. Miflex 2 S.p.A. · filed 2023-01-25

In order to determine whether personal jurisdiction exists under CPLR 302(a)(1), the court must determine (1) whether the defendant "purposefully availed itself of 'the privilege of conducting activities within the forum State' by either transacting business in New York or contracting to supply goods or services in New York" (D & R Global Selections, S.L. v Bodega Olegario Falcon Pineiro, 29 NY3d 292, 297, quoting Rushaid v Pictet & Cie, 28 NY3d 316, 323; see Transcan Sys., Inc. v Seldat Distrib., Inc., 209 AD3d 911, 913), and (2) whether the claim arose from that business transaction or from the contract to supply good or services (see D & R Global Selections, S.L. v Bodega Olegario Falcon Pineiro, 29 NY3d at 297; Transcan Sys., Inc. v Seldat Distrib., Inc., 209 AD3d at 913).

Section 302(a)(1) permits specific personal jurisdiction over a nondomiciliary when it transacts business in New York and the claim arises from those transactions, while section 302(a)(2) requires the tortious act to have been committed in New York.

Matter of New York Asbestos Litig. · filed 2023-01-31(a)(1) and (a)(2)

A court may exercise specific personal jurisdiction over a nondomiciliary so long as two elements are satisfied: (1) the defendant must have conducted sufficient activities to have transacted business in the state and (2) the claims must arise from those transactions (see Rushaid v Pictet & Cie, 28 NY3d 316, 323 [2016]). ... The court should have granted the motion to dismiss the complaint as against defendant for lack of personal jurisdiction pursuant to CPLR 302(a)(1) because there was no record evidence suggesting that defendant's minimal activity in New York had an articulable nexus to plaintiff's injury. ... Plaintiff also failed to demonstrate that defendant was subject to jurisdiction under CPLR 302(a)(2), which requires that a tortious act be committed within the state. In this case, plaintiff's alleged exposure to defendant's valves — that is, the purportedly tortious act — occurred in Connecticut, not in New York.

Section 302 allows New York courts to exercise specific jurisdiction over non-domiciliary defendants when they engage in specified acts connected to New York.

Machado v. Hershey Entertainment and Resorts Company · filed 2023-02-13(a)(1), (a)(2), and (a)(3)

Applying these standards to the allegations at hand, the Court finds that Plaintiffs have failed to plead facts sufficient to permit the exercise of jurisdiction over Defendants pursuant to Section 302(a)(1). ... The Court thus lacks Section 302(a)(2) specific jurisdiction over Defendants. ... Plaintiffs’ Complaint is insufficient to confer this Court’s Section 302(a)(3)(i) jurisdiction. ... Based on these pleading failures, the Court finds that it cannot exercise specific jurisdiction over either Defendant pursuant to Section 302(a).

Section 302 permits New York courts to exercise specific personal jurisdiction over non-domiciliary defendants based on specified business activity or tortious conduct connected to New York.

Birittieri v. Whole Foods Market Group, Inc. · filed 2023-02-28(a)(1), (a)(2), and (a)(3)

N.Y.C.P.L.R. § 302(a)(1) (“§ 302(a)(1)”) provides that personal jurisdiction exists over a non-domiciliary defendant that “transacts any business within the state or contracts anywhere to supply goods or services in the state.” ... N.Y.C.P.L.R. § 302(a)(2) (“§ 302(a)(2)”) provides that personal jurisdiction may apply where a defendant commits tortuous conduct while physically present in New York. ... N.Y.C.P.L.R. § 302(a)(3) (“§ 302(a)(3)”) provides that personal jurisdiction exists over a non-domiciliary defendant that “commits a tortious act without the state causing injury to person or property within the state ... if [she] (i) regularly does or solicits business, or engages in any other persistent course of conduct, or derives substantial revenue from goods used or consumed or services rendered, in the state, or (ii) expects or should reasonably expect the act to have consequences in the state and derives substantial revenue from interstate or international commerce.”

Section 302(a)(3) allows New York courts to exercise personal jurisdiction over a non-domiciliary who commits a tort outside the state that causes in-state injury and meets specified contact requirements.

Chowdhury v. Veon Ltd. · filed 2023-02-28(a)(3)

That provision allows for a court to exercise personal jurisdiction over a non-domiciliary “who in person or through an agent . . . commits a tortious act without the state causing injury to person or property within the state . . . if he (i) regularly does or solicits business, or engages in any other persistent course of conduct, or derives substantial revenue from goods used or consumed or services rendered, in the state, or (ii) expects or should reasonably expect the act to have consequences in the state and derives substantial revenue from interstate or international commerce.” N.Y. C.P.L.R. § 302(a)(3).3 ... Because Chowdhury has failed to sufficiently allege any basis to exercise personal jurisdiction over VEON under New York’s long-arm statute, the Court need not analyze whether jurisdiction would comport with due process. ... Accordingly, the Court grants VEON’s motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction.

Section 302(a)(1) permits jurisdiction over a nondomiciliary that purposefully avails itself of conducting business in New York, while section 302(a)(3) does not confer jurisdiction when the event causing the injury occurred outside New York.

Peldman v. Kalahari Resorts, LLC · filed 2022-09-27(a)(1), (a)(3)

The Kalahari defendants did not invoke the benefits and protections of New York's laws under CPLR 302(a)(1), as their activities alleged in the complaint were insufficient to demonstrate that they purposefully availed themselves of the privilege of conducting business in New York (see Paterno v Laser Spine Inst., 24 NY3d 370, 376 [2014]). ... Thus, the event giving rise to the injury — namely, the bedbug infestation itself — actually occurred in Pennsylvania, not in New York, and CPLR 302(a)(3) therefore does not confer jurisdiction (see Paterno, 24 NY3d at 381; Marie v Altshuler, 30 AD3d 271, 272 [1st Dept 2006]).

CPLR 302 provides, in relevant part, that New York courts may exercise personal jurisdiction over any nondomiciliary who "transacts any business within the state or contracts anywhere to supply goods or services in the state" (CPLR 302[a][1]), or "commits a tortious act within the state" (CPLR 302[a][2]).

Section 302(a)(1) permits specific jurisdiction when a defendant transacts business in New York or contracts anywhere to supply goods or services there and the claim arises from those acts, while section 302(a)(3) covers certain out-of-state torts causing in-state injury when additional conditions are met.

Dental Recycling North America, Inc. v. Stoma Ventures, Inc. · filed 2023-01-24(a)(1) and (a)(3)

To establish specific jurisdiction under N.Y. C.P.L.R. § 302(a)(1), two conditions must be met. First, the defendant must “transact ... business within the state or contract[ ] anywhere to supply goods or services in the state.” N.Y. C.P.L.R. § 302(a)(1). Second, the cause of action must arise from “[a]cts which are the basis of jurisdiction.” Id. ... Section 302(a)(3) also permits courts to exercise personal jurisdiction over a non-domiciliary defendant “who in person or through an agent ... commits a tortious act without the state causing injury to person or property within the state.” N.Y.

Section 302 permits New York courts to exercise specific personal jurisdiction over non-domiciliary defendants when the statutory requirements for transacting business or committing tortious acts in or outside New York are met.

Birittieri v. Whole Foods Market Group, Inc. · filed 2023-02-28(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3)

Plaintiffs must meet two requirements to establish personal jurisdiction under § 302(a)(1): “(1) The defendant must have transacted business within the state; and (2) the claim asserted must arise from that business activity.” ... Accordingly, Defendant is not subject to this Court’s personal jurisdiction under § 302(a)(1). ... Given Second Circuit precedent, the Court must apply the majority rule requiring the defendant to physically commit the tortious act in New York. ... Accordingly, Defendant is not subject to this Court’s personal jurisdiction under § 302(a)(2). ... To determine an injury has occurred within the state, courts apply a “situs-of-injury test, which asks [courts] to locate the original event which caused the injury.” ...

Section 302 permits personal jurisdiction based on specified New York contacts; none of the listed grounds applied to the New Jersey justices.

Anonymous v. Kaye · filed 1996-12-23

Pursuant to § 302, a party may be subject to personal jurisdiction in New York if that party transacts business in New York, see § 302(1); committed a tort outside the state, the effects of which are felt in New York, see § 302(c)(2)-(3); or possesses real property in New York, see § 302(c)(4).

Section 302(a)(1)-(2) requires a nondomiciliary’s New York business transaction to be substantially related to the claimed injury, or a tortious act in New York to have caused it; supervising an agency whose reach includes New York is insufficient.

Nwanze v. Philip Morris Inc. · filed 2000-06-07(a)(1)-(2)

Other than the improperly pleaded conspiracy allegation, however, the Complaint fails to allege any facts which might establish that Director Hawk either committed tortious acts in New York, or that the injuries of which Plaintiffs complain were related to business she transacted in New York. Mere supervision over the Bureau of Prisons, the reach of which extends into every state, is insufficient to establish a basis for the exercise of personal jurisdiction.

Since Kindler acted as Semeraro’s agent, Kindler’s actions in New York to divert business away from Mario Valente subject the defendants to the court’s jurisdiction on the tort claims under C.P.L.R. § 302(a)(2) (tortious acts committed in state permit the exercise of jurisdiction). ...

Under C.P.L.R.

In light of these and the other facts developed to date, the Court has little trouble concluding that Maersk has established personal jurisdiction over the Remaining Defendants by a preponderance of the evidence.

FORTIES B LLC v. America West Satellite, Inc. · filed 2010-07-23(a)(1), (a)(3)(ii)

The Court holds that plaintiffs have failed to make prima facie showing of jurisdiction under either provision through their pleadings and affidavits, and have certainly not adduced evidence that, if credited by a trier of fact, would establish jurisdiction. ... To determine the existence of jurisdiction under section 302(a)(1), a court must decide (1) whether the defendant “transacts any business” in New York and, if so, (2) whether this cause of action “aris[es] from” such a business transaction. ... For these reasons, the mere facts that PBSG may have sold advertisements to at least one company with a New York office location and that some Pars TV advertisers may have sold their products to New York consumers are insufficient to establish that PBSG “transacted business” in New York. ... For related reasons, there is no jurisdiction over PBSG under CPLR § 302(a)(3)(ii).

Section 302 permits personal jurisdiction over a non-domiciliary who purposefully transacts business in New York or commits a tort outside New York that causes in-state injury and satisfies an additional statutory requirement.

House of Diamonds v. BORGIONI, LLC · filed 2010-08-25(a)(1) and (a)(3)

New York’s long-arm statute grants personal jurisdiction over a non-domiciliary defendant if the defendant “transacts business within the state.” N.Y. C.P.L.R. § 302(a)(1). A defendant is found to transact business within the state if it “purposefully avails itself of the privileges of conducting activities within New York.” ... Thus, by purposefully creating a continuous relationship with a New York corporation and by maintaining constant communications with it over the period of approximately one year, Zrelak availed himself of the benefits and privileges of transacting business in New York and is therefore subject to jurisdiction under N.Y. C.P.L.R. § 302(a)(1). ... Thus, for jurisdiction to be proper under the statute, the Court must determine that Zrelak has caused injury in New York by committing a tortious act outside of New York, and that he meets the requirements of either subsection (i) or subsection (ii). ... Accordingly, Zrelak meets the jurisdictional criteria set out in C.P.L.R. § 302(a)(3) and is therefore subject to personal jurisdiction.

Assuming, only for purposes of resolution of this motion, that Defendants transacted business in New York, Plaintiffs submissions are void of any allegations that Plaintiffs claims regarding the “masticated chicken nuggets” arise out of Defendants’ New York activities. ... Similar to personal jurisdiction requirements under Section 302(a)(1), to allege personal jurisdiction over a non-domiciliary defendant under Section 302(a)(4), a plaintiff must demonstrate “a relationship between the property and the cause of action sued upon.” ...

Section 302(a)(4) permits specific jurisdiction based on New York real property only when the cause of action arises out of that property.

George Moudreas & Co SA v. Jinhai Intelligent Manufacturing Co Ltd · filed 2021-01-18(a)(4)

But for C.P.L.R. § 302(a)(4) to bestow specific personal jurisdiction over a foreign company, Petitioner must allege that the cause of action arises out of Respondents’ New York property. See Karoon v. Credit Suisse Grp. AG, No. 15-CV-4643, 2016 WL 815278, at *5 (S.D.N.Y. Feb. 29, 2016). Petitioner has failed to allege any connection between any of the property HNA allegedly owns in New York and the arbitration awards or the underlying contracts. Thus, C.P.L.R. § 302(a)(4) does not provide a basis for this Court to exercise personal jurisdiction over Moving Respondents.

Section 302(a)(3)(ii) permits personal jurisdiction over a non-domiciliary whose out-of-state tort causes in-state injury, where the defendant reasonably expects in-state consequences and derives substantial interstate or international revenue.

V&A Collection, LLC v. Guzzini Properties Ltd. · filed 2021-03-15(a)(3)(ii)

The Court interprets this comment as a reference to a subsection of New York’s long-arm statute that provides that a court may exercise personal jurisdiction over a non-domiciliary who “commits a tortious act without the state causing injury to person or property within the state, … if he … expects or should reasonably expect the act to have consequences in the state and derives substantial revenue from interstate or international commerce[.]” N.Y. CPLR § 302(a)(3)(ii); accord Krisko v. Marvel Entm’t, LLC, 473 F. Supp. 3d 288, 300 (S.D.N.Y. 2020). Defendant argues that “V&A has not alleged or submitted proof that the supposed conversion occurred in New York; that Guzzini was even aware of V&A’s place of business when it allegedly converted the Guyton; or that any act by Guzzini was directed to V&A in New York.” (Def. Reply 6). The Court agrees that Plaintiff’s Complaint lacks these crucial allegations, as well as an allegation regarding the revenue Defendant derives from interstate or international commerce. Thus, Plaintiff fails to plead sufficient facts to make a prima facie case that this Court may exercise personal jurisdiction over Defendant under New York’s long-arm statute.

The statute provides for personal jurisdiction over a defendant who “commits a tortious act,” other than “defamation,” outside of New York that “caus[es] injury to person or property within the state,” provided that the defendant “expects or should reasonably expect the act to have consequences in the state and derives substantial revenue from interstate or international commerce.” ...

MSP Recovery Claims, Series LLC v. Takeda Pharmaceuticals America, Inc. · filed 2021-09-29(a)(1)

Applying these standards, we have no difficulty concluding that plaintiffs have made a prima facie showing that there is specific personal jurisdiction over defendants for claims related to payments by New York-based Assignors, regardless of where the prescriptions were ultimately filled. That is because, according to the Second Amended Complaint, defendants marketed and distributed Actos nationally, including in New York, and thus voluntarily reached into New York to make representations about Actos that ultimately led to the New York Assignors’ decision to reimburse prescriptions of the drug. The claims here arise from those contacts, and thus defendants could reasonably anticipate being haled into court in New York to answer for claims brought on behalf of Assignors located in New York. As defendants do not raise compelling policy or burden arguments against exercising personal jurisdiction over them related to these claims, the requirements of N.Y. C.P.L.R. § 302(a)(1) and due process have been met.
