U.S. Small Business Administration v. Integrated Environmental Solutions (Jurisdiction/28 U.S.C. §754)

U.S. Small Business Administration v. Integrated Environmental Solutions, Inc., 2006 WL 2336446 (S.D.Tex. 2006), continues the recent barrage of cases affirming the extraterritorial “in personam” jurisdiction of a Receivership Court, based upon the “interplay” of Sections 754 and 1692 of 28 U.S.C., without the need for any “minimum contacts” analysis. In addition, the Court confirmed that, under principles of ancillary jurisdiction, the Receivership Court has subject matter jurisdiction of any suit brought by the Receiver in order to execute his duties, irrespective of diversity, amount in controversy, etc.
