Long-Arm Statute Casino Queen, Inc. operates a gambling and hotel establishment in East St. Louis, Il­linois. Casino Queen's location places it within a large metropolitan area comprised of East St. Louis, Illinois, and St. Louis, Missouri, and several other cities in both Illinois and Missouri. Casino Queen advertises through print, radio, and television media in Missouri. Mark My­ers is a resident of St. Louis County, Missouri. Myers went to Casino Queen to gamble and won $17,500. He cashed out his winnings and took a cab to Missouri. Two individuals who saw him cash out his winnings at the casino followed Myers in a cab to Missouri, where they beat and robbed him of his winnings. Myers sued Casino Queen in a Missouri court alleging that the casino was negligent in not providing Myers warnings of such il­legal activities and protecting him from such activities. Casino Queen, an Illinois corporation, made a motion to have the lawsuit dismissed by the Missouri court, alleging that the Missouri court did not have personal jurisdiction over the Illinois casino. Myers argued that Missouri's long-arm statute gave it personal jurisdiction over Gasino Queen. Does the Missouri court have per­sonal jurisdiction over the Illinois casino based on Mis­souri's long-arm statute? Myers v. Casino Queen, Inc. , 689 F.3d 904 (United States Gourt of Appeals for the Eighth Gircuit, 2012)
