American National Bank & Trust Co. v. International Seafoods of Alaska, Inc.

BURKE, Justice,

dissenting.

I dissent.

I am not convinced that there are sufficient “contacts” between petitioner and Alaska to satisfy the due process requirements of the federal constitution. U.S. Const, amend. XIV, § 1; Leney v. Plum Grove Bank, 670 F.2d 878 (10th Cir.1982); Empire Abrasive Equipment v. Watson, 567 F.2d 554 (3d Cir.1977). Thus, I would reverse the judgment below and remand to the superior court with instructions to dismiss the action against petitioner, upon the ground that the court lacks in personam jurisdiction.
