HANES CONSTR. CO. v. HOTMIX BITUMINOUS EQUIP. CO

Jurisdiction — breach of contract — out-of-state seller — long-arm statute — minimum contacts

The decision of the Court of Appeals that the trial court had personal jurisdiction over the out-of-state seller of asphalt equipment in a breach of contract action is reversed for the reasons stated in the dissenting opinion in the Court of Appeals that personal jurisdiction over defendant was not authorized by the long-arm statute, N.C.G.S. § 1-75.4, and that the exercise of personal jurisdiction over defendant violated due process because defendant had insufficient minimum contacts with this state.

PER CURIAM.

For the reasons stated in the dissenting opinion, the

decision of the Court of Appeals is reversed.

REVERSED.
