   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  10-2460
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Smith and Benton, Circuit Judges]
   Civil case - Civil Procedure. District court did not err in finding it lacked
   in personam jurisdiction over the defendant, a German corporation; the
   company's incidental contacts with Missouri do not constitute a deliberate
   and substantial connection with the state such that the company could
   reasonably anticipate being haled into court in the state; there was no basis
   for existence of general personal jurisdiction over the company; district
   court did not err in denying plaintiff's request for jurisdictional 
   discovery.
