TANG, Circuit Judge:
In this diversity action, Ault appeals the district court’s dismissal of her invasion of privacy, libel, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and trespass and conversion claims against Hustler Magazine, Inc. arising from the magazine’s depiction of her in its regular “Asshole of the Month” feature. Ault also appeals the court’s dismissal of Larry Flynt and L.F.P., Inc. for lack of personal jurisdiction, and the award of sanctions against Ault and her attorney. We affirm in part and reverse in part.
