1Opinion of the Court
VAN OOSTERHOUT, Circuit Judge.
These are appeals from a final judgment dismissing five consolidated actions for want of jurisdiction. The dismissal is based upon the court’s determination that section 506.210, V.A.M.S., commonly referred to as the “Long-Arm Service Statute,” insofar as it provides for substituted service upon a foreign executor of a nonresident motorist, is unconstitutional, and hence the service of process pursuant thereto does not confer jurisdiction over the defendant in these cases. The court’s opinion is imported at 152 F.Supp. 36.
Plaintiffs are all residents of Florida.…
