PLAINTIFF MADE A SUFFICIENT SHOWING OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER A NEW JERSEY RADIATION TREATMENT CLINIC TO BE ENTITLED TO DISCOVERY (FIRST DEPT).

The First Department determined plaintiff had sufficiently demonstrated personal jurisdiction over a New Jersey radiation therapy clinic (PPM) to be entitled to disclosure under both CPLR 301 (general jurisdiction) and 302 (specific jurisdiction):

Plaintiff made a “sufficient start” in establishing that New York courts have jurisdiction over PPM under CPLR 301 and 302(a)(1) to be entitled to disclosure pursuant to CPLR 3211(d) … . With regard to general jurisdiction, codified in CPLR 301, it is not clear whether PPM’s “affiliations with the State [New York] are so continuous and systematic as to render [it] essentially at home in the [] State” … . However, the record contains a State filing in which PPM identified itself as having a principal place of business in Manhattan — “tangible evidence” upon which to question PPM’s claims to the contrary … .

With regard to specific jurisdiction (CPLR 302[a][1]), the record shows that PPM’s activities in New York were “purposeful and [that] there is a substantial relationship between the transaction and the claim asserted” … . PPM chose and marketed its Somerset, New Jersey, location to target New York residents, touting its proximity to New York in advertising, entered into an agreement with a consortium of New York City hospitals for the referral of cancer patients for treatment at its facility, and provided the consortium’s doctors with privileges at its facility. In contrast to Paterno v Laser Spine Inst. (24 NY3d 370 [2014]), a medical malpractice action in which the plaintiff argued that New York courts had jurisdiction over a Florida-based facility and its doctors based on an advertisement and communications, in this case, plaintiff did not seek out PPM. She says that she was directed to PPM by her New York doctor, defendant Raj Shrivastava, as part of a referral fee agreement, that Dr. Shrivastava thereafter co-managed her care, and that PPM billed her directly for Dr. Shrivastava’s services.
