My E-Medicine can challenge the jurisdiction of the U.S. Marshals in federal district court. The company can argue that it does not have sufficient contacts with France to be subject to the jurisdiction of the French court. Additionally, the company can argue that the U.S. Marshal does not have the authority to serve process for a foreign lawsuit, as the Marshal's authority is limited to the territorial boundaries of the United States.
