Hansen v. Scott, 2002 ND 101 A trial court may grant a certification under N.D.R.Civ.P. 54(b) if the issues raised in the appeal will not be mooted by future developments in the trial court. Rule 4(b)(2), N.D.R.Civ.P., authorizes North Dakota courts to exercise personal jurisdiction over a nonresident to the fullest extent permitted by due process. To establish personal jurisdiction over a nonresident under N.D.R.Civ.P. 4(b)(2), the requirements of one of the subparagraphs of Rule 4(b)(2) must be satisfied, and the nonresident must have sufficient minimum contacts with North Dakota so the exercise of personal jurisdiction does not offend traditional notions of substantial justice, fair play, or due process.
