Question: and systematic,” even when the cause of action has no relation to those contacts. LSI Indus. Inc. v. Hubbell Lighting, Inc., 232 F.3d 1369, 1375 (Fed.Cir.2000) (citing Helicopteros Nacionales de Colombia, S.A. v. Hall, 466 U.S. 408, 414-16, 104 S.Ct. 1868, 80 L.Ed.2d 404 (1984)). The district court correctly found that it lacked general jurisdiction over Oppenheimer. Oppenheimer has very limited contacts with California. Oppenheimer has shipped unspecified items to the defendant Spectrum Effects, Inc. of California. However, the record gives no indication of the context and significance of these shipments for Oppenheimer’s business. Appellants failed to show that these acts amount to continuous and systematic contacts with California. See Helicopteros, 466 U.S. at 418, 104 S.Ct. 1868 (<HOLDING>). Additionally, Oppenheimer has exhibited

Question: to his defense, an in camera review of those records must be conducted to ascertain whether they contain evidence that is reasonably necessary, and therefore essential, to the defense. Only when the trial court finds such evidence, should it be provided to the defendant. Id. at 562. This court agrees with the reasoning of Stanaway. To hold the statutory privilege superior to Mr. White’s right to obtain potentially exculpatory evidence would be unconstitutional. Id. at 573-75. Because a court has already determined that the adoption records sought by Mr. White may contain evidence relevant to Mr. White’s defense, denying Mr. White access to such evidence would violate his right to due process. See Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83, 87, 83 S.Ct. 1194, 1196-97, 10 L.Ed.2d 215 (1963) (<HOLDING>). “An in camera review by the trial court will

Answer: (E)


Question: argues that the trial court erred in overruling their motion for remittitur. The Horners assert that section 510.265,. Missouri’s statutory cap on punitive damages, applies to limit damages for aggravating circumstances that are awarded in wrongful death cases. This is a question of first impression. Section 510.265 provides, in relevant part, that: 1. No award of punitive damages against any defendant shall exceed the greater of: (1) Five hundred thousand dollars; or (2) Five times the net amount of the judgment awarded to the plaintiff against the defendant. (Emphasis added.) “Punitive damages” is not defined in section 510.265. Statutory interpretation is a question of law, which is subject to de novo review .on appeal. Hervey v. Mo. Dep’t of Corrections, 379 S.W.3d 1 W.D.2004) (<HOLDING>). As discussed supra, section 510.263 generally 
 Holding statements: (A) holding that courts must generally give effect to the plain meaning of a statute because that is the best evidence of the legislatures intent (B) recognizing that the aba guidelines and federal law are instructive (C) holding that even though the government retained discretion as to how to mark or fence dropoffs it did not retain discretion whether to do so (D) holding legislatures intent is determined from plain and common meaning of words used (E) holding that legislatures failure to qualify a definition though it knew how to do so is instructive in construing statutes intended meaning
