Text: Second, Menken alleges that Tomerlin's intentional conduct was expressly aimed at the forum state because the act of trying to extract the judgment payoff was aimed at tying up Menken's real property located in Arizona. The requirement is satisfied when the defendant is alleged to have engaged in wrongful conduct targeted at a plaintiff whom the defendant knows to be a resident of the forum state. Dole Food Co., Inc. v. Watts, 303 F.3d 1104, 1111 (9th Cir.2002) (internal citation and quotation signals omitted). Menken sufficiently alleges that Tomerlin engaged in wrongful conduct targeted at Menken, whom Tomerlin knew to be a resident of Arizona.
