How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • explaining that first step in specific jurisdiction analysis is determining “whether the defendant has minimum contacts with the forum state”
  • noting that forfeiture “generally will not apply ‘when [an issue] fairly appears in the record as having been raised or decided’”
  • an insurer’s securing an insurance contract with a Texas resident is insufficient to establish specific personal jurisdiction over the insurer
  • “[I]f complaint allegations alone prevented subsequent forfeiture, then it is difficult to imagine when any claim or argument could ever be forfeited.”
  • “The mere fact that a defendant participated in state court lawsuits in the putative forum, without more, cannot meet this court’s standard for specific personal jurisdiction.” (citation omitted)
  • “[T]his court considers arguments forfeited if they are not raised before a magistrate judge, even if they are subsequently raised before the reviewing district court in objections to the magistrate judge's report and recommendation.”
