1Opinion of the Court
KILKENNY, Circuit Judge:
Appellant, a California resident, filed a medical malpractice suit in Federal District Court for the Central District of California. Jurisdiction was based on diversity. The two appellee doctors live and practice medicine in Arizona, and appellee hospital is located and licensed in Arizona. The district court dismissed the case for lack of personal jurisdiction as to all appellees. Appellant appeals, arguing that under California’s long-arm statute appellees had sufficient contacts with the state to support personal jurisdiction.
