Etheridge v. Samsung SDI Co.

5th Circuit

(5th Circ., filed September 22, 2023): Arguing that due process requires a “strong relationship” among the defendant, the forum and the litigation. No “strong relationship” exists where a claim arises independent of a defendant’s deliberate efforts to serve a market. Neither a plaintiff’s actions nor a third-party’s actions can create a “strong relationship” between the defendant and the forum.
