CLEVENGER, Circuit Judge.

Inamed Corp., Inamed Development Co., and BioEnterics Corp. (collectively, “Inamed” or “appellants”) appeal from an order of the United States District Court for the Central District of California dismissing their action for declaratory judgment against defendant Lubomyr I. Kuzmak, M.D., for lack of personal jurisdiction. Inamed Corp. v. Kuzmak, No. 99-2160 (C.D.Cal. Feb. 24, 2000) (“Inamed Corp.”). Because we conclude that the district court erred in determining that it lacked personal jurisdiction over the defendant, we reverse and remand.
