HUG, Circuit Judge,
dissenting:
I respectfully dissent. The treatment of which appellant complains was rendered entirely in Arizona. For the reasons stated in Wright v. Yackley, 459 F.2d 287 (9th Cir.1972), I would affirm the dismissal by the district court.
There was an insufficient showing, in my view, that the forum-related activities justified the assertion of personal jurisdiction in California. The telephone listings in the local Parker, Arizona telephone directory and the obtaining of a Medi-Cal number for billing purposes do not constitute a sufficient interjection by appellees into the state of California to warrant personal jurisdiction for a claim arising out of the medical treatment in Arizona. See World-Wide Volkswagen Corp. v. Woodson, 444 U.S. 286, 100 S.Ct. 559, 62 L.Ed.2d 490 (1980), or Data Disc, Inc. v. Systems Tech. Assoc., Inc., 557 F.2d 1280 (9th Cir.1977).
