Western Heritage Thrift & Loan v. Cloutier, 107 Nev. 471, 473, 813 P.2d 999, 1000 (1991) (indicating that personal jurisdiction cannot be based on fortuitous contact with the forum state).

Nor does the fact that appellant lived in Nevada while he managed the parties' other non-Nevada-based entities establish general personal jurisdiction over respondent. Trump v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 109 Nev. 687, 699, 857 P.2d 740, 748 (1993) (indicating that general jurisdiction is properly exercised when the defendant's contacts with the forum state "are so substantial or continuous and systematic that [the defendant] may be deemed present in the forum" (quotation omitted)).
