Diversified Telecom Services, Inc. v. Clevinger

I. NATURE OF CASE

The primary issue raised by this case is whether personal jurisdiction exists in Nebraska over David L. Clevinger, Jr., and Jerold J. Hawkins, both Michigan residents, and Skyline Services, L.L.C. (Skyline), a Michigan limited liability company (collectively the appellees). The district court concluded that it did not have personal jurisdiction and sustained the appellees’ special appearance. We reverse the order of the district court in part, concluding that Nebraska’s jurisdiction extends over Clevinger and Hawkins.
