WV 23 Jumpstart, LLC v. Mynarcik
Annotate this CaseIn May 2010, the original plaintiffs to this matter (plaintiffs) obtained a money judgment in Nevada state court against four defendants, including respondent Tiger Mynarcik (Mynarcik). In November 2010, the Sacramento County Superior Court granted plaintiffs’ application to domesticate the Nevada judgment in California, the state in which one of Mynarcik’s codefendant’s was last known to reside. The Nevada judgment expired by operation of law in 2016, while the sister-state judgment issued in California remained in effect. In May 2020, plaintiffs assigned the California judgment to appellant WV 23 Jumpstart, LLC (Jumpstart). Two months later, Jumpstart renewed the California judgment and then applied to domesticate the renewed judgment back in Nevada, an action which Mynarcik challenged. In response, the Nevada court instructed Jumpstart to seek an order from the California courts regarding the validity of the renewed California judgment. In subsequent proceedings, the Sacramento County Superior Court granted a motion by Mynarcik to quash entry of the renewed sister-state judgment for lack of personal jurisdiction over him. On appeal, Jumpstart argued the trial court erred in concluding that where a judgment creditor seeks to register a sister-state judgment in California, the judgment debtor must have “minimum contacts” with California. The Court of Appeal agreed with Jumpstart and therefore reversed the trial court’s order.
