After hearing, Specially Appearing Defendant William Slater Vincent’s Motion to Quash Service of Summons is DENIED.
Specially Appearing Defendant William Slater Vincent (“Vincent”) moves to quash service for lack of personal jurisdiction.
Motion to Quash Legal Standard: Personal Jurisdiction
A defendant, on or before the last day of his or her time to plead or within any further time that the court may for good cause allow, may serve and file a notice of motion to quash service of summons on the ground of lack of jurisdiction of the court over him or her. (CCP § 418.10(a)(1).)
When a nonresident defendant challenges personal jurisdiction the burden shifts to the plaintiff to demonstrate by a preponderance of the evidence that all necessary jurisdictional criteria are met. (Jewish Defense Org. v. Superior Court (1999) 72 Cal.App.4th 1045, 1054-55.) This burden must be met by competent evidence in affidavits and authenticated documentary evidence. (Id. at 1055.)
