Sangha v. Navig8 Ship Management Private Ltd., No. 17-20093 (5th Cir. 2018)
Annotate this CaseThe Fifth Circuit affirmed the district court's dismissal of plaintiff's action against Navig8 based on lack of personal jurisdiction. The court held that the district court did not abuse its discretion in resolving the issue of personal jurisdiction before establishing whether subject matter jurisdiction existed; plaintiff did not make a prima facie showing of personal jurisdiction and Navig8 was not subject to general jurisdiction in Texas; and Navig8 was not subject to specific jurisdiction in Texas where plaintiff failed to allege sufficient contacts. Because the court affirmed on personal jurisdiction grounds, it declined to reach the district court's forum non conveniens analysis.
