Lewis W. Poe, Petitioner, v. Charles F. G. Kuyk, Jr., et al.
The focus of the case is on whether an unhappy plaintiff from one court may attempt to proceed with his/her case using a different theory in a second court. The argument is if the prior determination of one district court regarding the 'availability of nationwide service of process' as directed by 28 U.S.C. § 1391(e) is binding upon another court when the defendants are the same but the capacity in which they are sued differs.
