Trevor Gransol graduated from GSU in 2016 with a CIS degree.He landed a job with a tech company in San Francisco and moved to a small walk-up apartment downtown near city hall and the arts district.Even with a residential parking permit, parking near his apartment is scarce and Trevor typically spends 15-20 minutes looking for a place to park his car, often several blocks away from the apartment.Tired of the inconvenience and the many parking tickets he has found on his windshield each year for forgetting to move his car on street cleaning days, Trevor decided to sell his car and buy a motorcycle, preferably one made in the US.To learn more about motorcycles and motorcycle culture, Trevor also began readingThe OpenRoad, a magazine for motorcycle enthusiasts that is published in California.

A friend suggested that Trevor research electric motorcycles, which have a smaller carbon footprint than other motorcycles, are quieter, and don't require oil changes, spark plugs, or air filters. Trevor did and last fall decided to purchase a used 2019 Livewire, the electric motorcycle manufactured by Harley-Davidson, which claims that its high voltage battery provides up to 146 miles of city driving between charges.Since Trevor only wants the bike for in-city driving, he didn't see the 90 to 100 mile range between battery charges on highways as a problem.Soon after purchasing his Livewire, he decided to replace the heavily worn tires on the used motorcycle.

The Blowout Company is incorporated and headquartered in Georgia, with two tire manufacturing plants in the state.It manufactures the "USA Custom" tire at its plant in Brunswick, Georgia.The "USA Custom" tire is specifically designed to be compatible with motorcycles manufactured in the United States. Blowout does not sell its tires directly to consumers; instead, it only sells them to distributors in several states, including California.Blowout also advertises its custom tires inThe Open Road.

After seeing numerous ads for Blowout's "USA Custom" tire inThe Open Road, Trevor went to a GoodTires store in San Francisco.GoodTires is a California corporation that sells many different types of tires for cars and motorcycles, including the USA Custom tire. Before purchasing any tires, Trevor called The Blowout Company's toll-free hotline that services Blowout's California customers.He had several questions about the tires and also wanted to verify that they would be compatible with his Harley, which is assembled in the US, but does have some parts manufactured abroad.Assured that the tires would work on his Harley Livewire, Trevor bought two "USA Custom" tires from GoodTires in late October.

Last month, Trevor suffered severe injuries in an accident caused when the tread on the front tire of his Harley Livewire separated from the rest of the tire.He has filed a lawsuit against The Blowout Company in California state court, alleging that the tire was defective, causing his accident and injuries.The Blowout Company has filed amotion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction.Blowout argues that because it is a Georgia company without an office or employees in California, it cannot be sued in a California state court and that the court must dismiss the case.

You are the judge of the California state trial court assigned to this case.How do you rule on The Blowout Company's motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction?
