VIENT v. Johnson & Johnson et al

Filing 25

MEMORANDUM OPINION Filed. Signed by Judge Michael A. Shipp on 2/9/2024. (jal, )

Am. Sail Training Ass 'n v. Litchfield, 705 F. Supp. 75, 78 (D.R.I. 1989))). As such, Rhode Island's
long-arm statute does not grant Rhode Island courts personal jurisdiction over Defendants.
All told, Plaintiffs have failed to adequately allege facts to support Rhode Island court's
exercise of personal jurisdiction over Defendants. As each Plaintiff's Complaint was originally
filed in Rhode Island and only transferred to this Court, each Plaintiff's Complaint, therefore, must
be dismissed under Rule 12(b)(2).
IV.

CONCLUSION
For the reasons outlined above, Defendants' motions to dismiss are granted. An appropriate

Order will follow.

MICHAEL A. SHIPP
UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
