Question:

4. In METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE CO. v. ROBERTSON-CECO CORP., 84 F.3d 560 (2d Cir.), certiorari denied 519 U.S. 1006, 117 S.Ct. 508, 136 L.Ed.2d 398 (1996), the Second Circuit held that the exercise of general jurisdiction was unreasonable in light of the five-factor test endorsed in Asahi and World-Wide Volkswagen, but other courts have not embraced reasonableness as a factor in the general jurisdiction inquiry. See Cebik, “A Riddle Wrapped in a Mystery Inside an Enigma”: General Personal Jurisdiction andNotions of Sovereignty, 1998 Ann. Surv. Am. L. 1, 10. After Goodyear, is general jurisdiction subject to a two-part inquiry, with the court focusing at the first stage on defendant’s relationship with the state, and at the second stage on reasonableness and fairness factors?
