In Re State of Colorado, ex rel. Philip J. Weiser v. Juul Labs, Inc. Adam Bowen James Monsees…

Summary

The court made absolute its rule to show cause and held that the State failed to make a prima facie showing that Colorado could exercise specific personal jurisdiction over four nonresident corporate directors. The district court improperly aggregated allegations concerning the corporation and the defendants as a group, and the State did not allege individualized conduct purposefully directed at Colorado or injuries arising from such conduct. The court therefore remanded for further proceedings consistent with its opinion.
