Before VAN GRAAFEILAND and KEARSE, Circuit Judges, and MARKEY,C.C.P.A. *
VAN GRAAFEILAND, Circuit Judge:
This is an appeal from an order of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York (Costantino, J.) entered July 13, 1981, granting plaintiff-appellee's motion for a preliminary injunction and denying the motions of defendants-appellants, Duane C. Harden and Betacom Corporation to dismiss the second amended complaint for lack of personal jurisdiction. Because the matter is properly before us on appellants' appeal from the temporary injunction order, we may consider appellants' attack on the district court's order denying their motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction. United States v. First National City Bank, 321 F.2d 14, 17 n.3 (2d Cir. 1963), rev'd on other grounds, 379 U.S. 378, 85 S.Ct. 528, 13 L.Ed.2d 365 (1965).
In the affidavits submitted in support of the parties' several motions, many essential facts were sharply disputed. The parties disagreed as to the existence and nature of an alleged contract between Visual Sciences and defendant Harden. They disagreed as to the purpose of trips by Harden, a citizen of Minnesota, to New York. They also disagreed as to the facts necessary to confer standing on plaintiff to pursue its derivative stockholder's action on behalf of Integrated Communications, Inc. The district court ordered a combined hearing on the motions but terminated it abruptly before defendants had cross-examined plaintiff's witnesses or presented evidence of their own.
On a motion for a preliminary injunction an adequate presentation of the facts is necessary. Where, as here, essential facts are in dispute, there must be a...
