Hi
on the question,
Whether a civil claim falls completely if a dismissal is granted due to lack of personal jurisdiction? Please see if below helps:
In the context of a suit against a foreign-based shipping company, see, Mylonakis v. M/T Georgios M, 909 F.Supp.2d 691 (S.D. Tex. 2012).
On contact with California, see, Volumecocomo Apparel, Inc. v. Expeditors Int’l of Washington, Inc., 2012 WL 1189468, 2013 AMC 1382 (N.D. Cal. 2012).
On lack of personal jurisdiction over the primary defendants and on grounds of forum non convenient, see Chirag v. MT Marida Marguerite Schiffahrts, 604 F. App’x 16 (2d Cir. 2015). The Second Circuit affirmed the district court’s dismissal of an action brought by two Indian nationals for injuries incurred while crew members on a vessel when it was hijacked by Somali pirates.
On limited contacts and insufficiency to satisfy due process concerns, consisting wholly of eleven employee secondment agreements, see, Patterson v. Aker Solutions Inc., 826 F.3d 231 (5th Cir. 2016), .
Sincerely
Masoud Jahani Esq.

If I understood your message correctly, I believe you do not have Pacer and you need information about the case De León v. Shih Wei Navigation. I'm sorry if I didn't get it right. But if I am right, that case is posted here on Justia. Try putting this link into your computer:

I hope that helps. Good luck

I have a question regarding taxes and interest rates.
So my parents are looking to help me buy a home but the situation is rather unique. My parents want to create a real estate lending firm in which they would buy the property out right and then I would have a legally binding mortgage through this new existing company. The prime interest rate is currently at 3.25% and they would give me a rate of 3.5% interest on my mortgage but my father is concerned that when the PIR goes up and I have this fixed mortgage rate he would have to pay taxes on this because it's seen as a gift (being under the prime interest rate). So my question is, if I have a legally binding document/contract with my parent's company at an interest rate of 3.5% and the PRI increases, would this now be considered a gift even though it's a legitimate contract that was made prior to the PRI increase?
I was hired as a legal assistant by an immigration attorney. We discussed and agreed upon a salary of $40k per yr during the interview. He requested that I start the next day and, unfortunately, I didn't sign a contract stipulating this, no tax forms etc.
I worked for a total of 3 days before he terminated me by email, in which he asked for the address to mail a check. I sent the information, and after almost two weeks and no check, sent it again and asked when he was going to send my paycheck. All of my emails have been ignored, leading me to believe he has no intention of paying me.
I have emails discussing the work done, including our last communication where he said that he would be sending me a check.
What recourse do I have? how much money am I entitled to?
