IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DAVID McKAY et al.,

Plaintiffs,

 v.

CHRISTIAN HAGESETH et al.,

Defendants.

 /

No. C-06-1377 MMC

ORDER RE: NOVEMBER 3, 2006

HEARING

On November 3, 2006, the Court will hear oral argument on the motion filed

September 29, 2006 seeking dismissal of the claims asserted against defendants Benjamin

Kreis (“Kreis”) and Gregg Tuttle (“Tuttle”) for lack of personal jurisdiction and for failure to

state a claim, pursuant to Rules 12(b)(2) and 12(b)(6) of the Federal Rules of Civil

Procedure, as well as dismissal of the claims asserted against JRB Health Solutions LLC

(“JRB”), pursuant to Rule 12(b)(6), for failure to state a claim.

Although the Court recognizes there is insufficient time for the parties to prepare

supplemental briefing before the hearing, it would assist the Court if the parties were

prepared to discuss at the hearing the circumstances under which a Court may exercise

personal jurisdiction over an out-of-state corporate officer based on the officer’s control

over the corporation’s contacts with the forum state. See, e.g., Davis v. Metro Productions,

Inc., 885 F.2d 515, 520-24 (9th Cir. 1989); Seagate Technology v. A.J. Kogyo Co., Ltd.,
