   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  07-1509
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Little Rock   
   [PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, with Loken, Chief Judge, and Jarvey,
   District Judge]
   Civil case - torts. Claim that Hyperion Books invaded plaintiff's
   privacy by publishing and selling the novel The Washingtonienne in
   Arkansas remanded for tailored discovery to determine whether
   Hyperion's contacts with Arkansas were so continuous and systematic as
   to warrant the exercise of general personal jurisdiction over it; district
   court did not err in finding plaintiff had failed to establish a prima facie
   case of jurisdiction over defendant Disney; plaintiff failed to show that
   defendant HBO's acquisition of an option to produce a fictional TV show
   based on the book caused him any injury, and the district court did not err
   in dismissing the claim.
