Questions presented

Did the District Court violate the Due Process Clause by barring Defendant-Petitioner from pre senting any evidence in his defense at trial, a sanc tion that was imposed for his failing to produce an individual over whom he had no legal control for a deposition, despite the absence of articulable prej udice to the other side?
Does the Due Process Clause require an assess ment of a defendant’s nationwide business activi ties before a court may find that it has general personal jurisdiction over the individual on the basis of a few, scattered business contacts with the state?
