Sample Question
A chef from State A sued a butcher from State B in State A federal court seeking $100,000 in compensation. The compensation was for tortious injuries caused in a car accident by the butcher's allegedly negligent driving while he was in State A.

File a motion to dismiss for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction because the butcher does not have minimum contacts with State A.

File a motion to transfer the case to State B federal court in order to cure the defect in personal jurisdiction.
