Third Circuit: Jane Doe v. Alan Hesketh

FRCP, Statutory Construction, Estoppel

Dismissal of claim without prejudice for lack of personal jurisdiction is appealable under the general appeals statute is appropriate where the plaintiff proceeds to file in other jurisdictions rather than amend the claim.

Statute allows recovery against violation of a predicate statute, even where full recovery has been made on a claim based in the predicate statute.

Victim is not in sufficient privity with government to estop a subsequent claim for damages based on an earlier restitution proceeding.
