Professor Patrick Connors' treatise, SIEGEL & CONNORS, NEW YORK PRACTICE (6th ed. 2018 Thomson) was cited seven times in the three opinions in Williams v. Beemiller, 33 N.Y.3d 523 (2019). In Williams, an Ohio firearm merchant sold a gun to an Ohio resident in Ohio, which was then resold on the black market and used by a gang member to shoot the plaintiff in Buffalo. The Court held that the plaintiff could not obtain long-arm jurisdiction over the Ohio firearm merchant in New York State court.
