District of Minnesota.
dismissal was proper for the reasons stated by the district court. See Creative Calling
Sols., Inc. v. LF Beauty Ltd., 799 F.3d 975, 979 (8th Cir. 2015) (standard of review;
action should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction if evidence, viewed in light
most favorable to plaintiff, is sufficient to support conclusion that exercise of
personal jurisdiction over defendant is proper); Conn v. Zakharov, 667 F.3d 705,
717-20 (6th Cir. 2012) (defendant’s ownership of property in and occasional travel
to forum state did not establish prima facie case of general personal jurisdiction).
Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
