Exercise jurisdiction over roxy


Assignment:

Question 1. Roxy, while driving through Wyoming to her home in Montana, accidentally lost control of her car and drove it through a window into a store owned by Colt.  Colt sued Roxy in a Wyoming court for damages to his store.  
Will the Wyoming court likely be able to exercise jurisdiction over Roxy?

a)  No, because Wyoming has no in personam (personal) jurisdiction over Roxy, and cannot exercise its long arm statute only in cases involving automobile accidents.

b)  No, because Wyoming has no in personam jurisdiction over Roxy, and cannot justify minimum contacts in this case.

c)  Yes, Wyoming can exercise jurisdiction in this case because there is a federal question involved due to the diversity of citizenship between the parties.

d)  Yes, because Wyoming can assert in personam jurisdiction over Roxy under the minimum contacts test.
