He cashed out his winnings and took a cab to Nebraska. Two individuals who saw him cash out his winnings at the casino followed Meyers in a cab to Nebraska, where they beat and robbed him of his winnings. Meyers sued Casino Queen in a Nebraskacourt, alleging that the casino was negligent in not providing Meyers warnings of such illegal activities and protecting him from such activities. Casino King, an Iowacorporation, made a motion to have the lawsuit dismissed by the Nebraskacourt, alleging that the Nebraskacourt did not have personal jurisdiction over the Iowacasino. Meyers argued that Nebraska's long-arm statute gave it personal jurisdiction over Casino King.
