D JUL121984 JOSEPH ARTHUR QUIGLEY, JR., and ELIZABETH LEE QUIGLEY, Plaintiffs, CLEWC.'tfca BfBTmeTGOVAT niSTPirr np oolumbia v. Civil Action No. 83-2989 ARMSTRONG WORLD INDUSTRIES, INC., et al., Defendants. FILED JUL 1 01984 ORDER JAMES L 0AVE CLERK The Court has considered the plaintiffs' motion for reconsideration of the March 19, 1984 order dismissing defendants Nicolet, Inc. and Turner & Newall, PLC, and the oppositions thereto filed by those defendants, and determines that the plaintiffs' motion for reconsideration should be denied. The case chiefly relied on by the plaintiffs in support of their motion, Sheehan v. Owens-Corning Fiberglass Corp., No. 63-2160 (D. Mass. May 2, 1964), is simply a recommended decision of Magistrate DeGiacomo, and in any event, is based on factual circumstances which differ from those present in this case. As Magistrate DeGiacomo recog nized in declining to follow the Fifth Circuit's opinion in Hargrave v. Fibreboard Corp.. 710 F.2d 1154 (1983), the resolution of motions to dismiss for lack of personal juris diction varies according to the relevant long-arm statute and ^ the particular factual record presented to the Court. In addition, the Magistrate's opinion does not discuss jurisdiction over Nicolet, which has filed affidavits in this case stating that it does not manufacture or distribute the asbestos product at issue in the Massachusetts case. Affi davits of Bernard S. Bergman (President) and Mark S. Musselman (Secretary-Treasurer), filed June 11, 1984. Under these circumstances, the Court finds no persuasive reason to recon sider its previous order of dismissal. Entered: July 9, 1984 Barrington D. Parker United</States District Judge CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE I hereby certify that the foregoing "Notice of Filing in Support of Notion of Defendant T&N to Dismiss For Lack of Personal Jurisdiction" was served this 12th day of July 1984, by delivering true and correct copies thereof by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to James F.
