OPINION
2Per curiam
The primary issue presented by this appeal is whether Alaska may, consistently with constitutional due process protections, assert in personam jurisdiction over a nonresident franchisee and two non-resident franchisors on a cause of action which arose in Mexico. The trial court determined that it could not exercise jurisdiction over these defendants and, accordingly, dismissed appellees Avis de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (Avis Mexico), Avis International, Ltd. (Avis International), and Avis Rent-A-Car System, Inc. (Avis U.S.) from the action.
