California Court of Appeal

In a breach of contract action involving health insurance benefits, trial court's grant of defendant-insurer's motion to quash service of summons and complaint is affirmed where the court properly found defendant lacked the sufficient contacts with California for jurisdiction to attach as defendant did not subject itself to either general or specific jurisdiction in California by accepting premium payments from California or by processing and paying claims submitted by its California insureds for services rendered in-state.
