Description
MINZNER, Chief Judge. Plaintiffs and Defendant Gregory Rig Service and Sales, Inc. (hereinafter "Plaintiffs") appeal from a district court decision
granting motions for summary judgment and dismissing an amended complaint based on negligence, breach of warranty, and products
liability and a cross-claim filed by Gregory Rig. We must determine whether the law of the forum or the law of the state of
incorporation controls Plaintiffs' right to sue Defendant Wilson Manufacturing Co., the actual manufacturer of the product,
and Defendant Wilson-Wichita, Inc., which merged with Wilson Manufacturing after the product was sold, but dissolved prior
to the date of the accident. We also must determine whether New Mexico has personal jurisdiction over Defendant Dana Corporation,
the parent company. We conclude that the law of the state of incorporation controls Plaintiffs' right to sue Wilson Manufacturing
and Wilson-Wichita, and that New Mexico lacks personal jurisdiction over Dana Corporation. Therefore, we affirm the district
court's order.
