A federal court has sufficient independent jurisdiction over a claim to enforce an earlier federal judgment against a putative alter ego of the original deft when jurisdiction over the putative alter ego would arise under the statute that conferred the jurisdiction over the original action. The question of whether the second organization is in fact an alter ego of the first is a merits question, not a jurisdictional threshold.
The ERISA framework is not compulsory when assessing alter ego under the antiterrorism laws.
