because, among other reasons, we agree with the district court that it had no personal
jurisdiction over defendants. See World-Wide Volkswagen Corp. v. Woodson, 444
U.S. 286, 291-92 (1980) (nonresident defendant must have minimum contacts such
that suit “does not offend traditional notions of fair play and substantial justice”);
Miller v. Nippon Carbon Co., 528 F.3d 1087, 1090-91 (8th Cir. 2008) (de novo
review). Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R.
47B.
