• holding that Wisconsin farmer lacked minimum contacts with Illinois grain-buyer despite contract because per formance of contract occurred in Wisconsin; only connection to Illinois was payment from grain-buyer
• finding that the plaintiff’s sole contractual obligation to pay for the defendant’s goods weighed against a finding of personal jurisdiction in the plaintiff’s forum
• holding personal jurisdiction not present in Illinois when Wisconsin defendant communicated and contracted with Illinois company but otherwise had no relationship or contact with Illinois
• explaining that when a defendant lacks minimum contacts with the forum state, the court need not analyze whether personal jurisdiction comports with fair play and substantial justice
• finding that the checks paid by the plaintiff to the defendant drawn from an Illinois bank did not show the defendant purposefully availed himself of conducting business in Illinois
• affirming dismissal for lack of personal jurisdiction where the “the contracts at issue were formed remotely or in the nonforum state”
