1Opinion of the Court
SELYA, Circuit Judge.
Smarting from the sting of a failed business relationship, plaintiff-appellant Donal B. Barrett sued his erstwhile co-venturer, Victor J. Lombardi, Jr., and one of Lombardi’s companies, Veritas Offshore, Ltd. (Veritas). Acting on the defendants’ joint dispositive motion, the district court determined (1) that it lacked in personam juris diction over Veritas, and (2) that, for jurisdictional and other reasons, the complaint stated no claim against Lombardi upon which relief could be granted. Barrett appeals from the order of dismissal. We affirm in part and reverse in part.
