132345P.pdf   08/22/2014  Don Downing  v.  Goldman Phipps
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  13-2345
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, with Colloton and Kelly, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Equity. In action for unjust enrichment and quantum meruit 
   against the plaintiff lawyers in a large MDL action alleging the plaintiff 
   lawyers benefited in their state court actions from litigation and work 
   product generated in the underlying MDL by Downing and others but refused 
   to pay for it, the district court erred in granting the plaintiff lawyers' 
   motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction; where the plaintiff 
   lawyers voluntarily entered Missouri more than once to negotiate 
   settlement of their state court cases, their voluntary entry into Missouri 
   for financial benefit was both the transaction of business as that term is 
   used in the Missouri long arm statute and constitutionally sufficient 
   minimum contacts under the Due Process Clause.
