Copenbarger v. Chaparral Energy
Defendant Chaparral Energy, L.L.C. (Chaparral) successfully moved to quash service of a complaint filed by Lloyd G. Copenbarger, Jr., and Paul D. Copenbarger, cotrustees of the Copenbarger Trust (the trust) in a dispute involving an Oklahoma oil well. The court agreed with Chaparral that it lacked the requisite minimum contacts to sustain California jurisdiction. The trust argues that such contacts exist, or alternatively, that it should have been granted a continuance to conduct discovery on the issue. Court disagree and affirm.
