UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK nn eK MIRIAM FULD et al., Plaintiffs, -against- 20 CIVIL 3374 (JMF) JUDGMENT THE PALESTINE LIBERATION ORGANIZATION et al., Defendants. ene nen KX It is hereby ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED: That for the reasons stated in the Court's Opinion and Order dated January 6, 2022, and as in Waldman I, the killing of Ari Fuld was “unquestionably horrific” and Plaintiffs’ efforts to seek Justice on his and their own behalf are morally compelling. 835 F.3d at 344. “But,” as the Second Circuit emphasized in its decision, “the federal courts cannot exercise jurisdiction in a civil case beyond the limits prescribed by the due process clause of the Constitution, no matter how horrendous the underlying attacks or morally compelling the plaintiffs’ claims.” /d. at 344. The Court concludes that exercising jurisdiction here would indeed go beyond the limits prescribed by the Due Process Clause. Accordingly, the Court concludes that Defendants’ motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction must be and is GRANTED. As a result, the Court need not and does not reach Defendants’ other arguments for dismissal; accordingly, the case is closed. Dated: New York, New York January 7, 2022 RUBY J.
