State Ex Rel. Jones v. Crookham

*737CAMPBELL, J.

This is a mandamus proceeding by Jones, a resident of Idaho, and Lyle Jones Insurance and Investments, Inc., an Idaho corporation, to compel the trial court to dismiss a complaint filed against it in Multnomah County Circuit Court by Colonial Leasing Company of New England, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation doing business in Oregon. The question presented is whether Oregon’s long-arm statute, ORCP 4L., has sufficient reach to enable an Oregon court to exercise jurisdiction over a non-resident under these facts.1 We hold that it does not.
