Internet Solutions Corp. v. Tabitha Marshall   SC09-272

Internet Solutions sued Ms. Marshall in federal court in Florida, alleging defamation for comments she posted about the company on her Web site. Internet Solutions is a Nevada corporation that does business in Florida; Ms. Marshall lives in the state of Washington. Ms. Marshall argued the suit should be dismissed because there was not enough to connect her to Florida. The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is asking this Court whether the Florida statute that deals with lawsuits against non-residents applies to allegedly defamatory material a non-resident posts on the Web.
