““The only remaining argument, that the plaintiffs here are New York citizens, requires litle discussion. There would be no basis in reason for different treatment of an action by a nonresident who suffered serious injuries or by a nonresident executor of a nonresident who was killed, on the one hand, and one by a New York citizen who had been appointed administrator of a nonresident decedent on the other. The constitutional doubt arises from New York’s lack of meaningful contact with the claim . . . .” 411 F.2d at 817 (emphasis added).”
