022477P.pdf   11/04/2003  Scott B. Lakin  v.  Prudential
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  02-2477
   Western District of Missouri   
   Civil case - civil procedure. Plaintiffs may be able to establish a case of 
   general personal jurisdiction (either through an examination of 
   defendant's loan business or its Internet contact with Missouri) if they are 
   permitted to take jurisdictional discovery on remand, and the district court 
   erred in dismissing the case for lack of personal jurisdiction; district 
   court did not err, however, in ruling it lacked specific jurisdiction over 
   defendant.
