1Opinion of the Court
JAMES M. CARTER, District Judge.
This case presents the question as to whether or not the solicitation of business within the State of California by a foreign corporation maintaining an office in the city of San Francisco, California, constitutes doing business so as to render the corporation subject to the jurisdiction of the state courts. The action was brought by a California resident against a Kentucky railroad corporation for personal injuries incurred while alighting from the defendant’s train in Tennessee. The suit was initially filed in the Superior Court of California.
