Alexander Lanham v. BNSF Railway Company

Summary

The Nebraska Supreme Court issued a supplemental opinion addressing Alexander Lanham’s motion for rehearing in the underlying personal jurisdiction case against BNSF Railway Company. The court overruled the motion but modified the original opinion to correct statutory citations applicable to for-profit corporations, without changing the outcome.

Holdings

1. The motion for rehearing lacked substantive merit and was overruled.
2. The former opinion was modified to substitute Neb. Rev. Stat. § 21-2,209 (Cum. Supp. 2018), the statute applicable to for-profit corporations, for Neb. Rev. Stat. § 21-19,152 (Reissue 2012), the statute applicable to nonprofit corporations.

Questions Presented

1. Whether the appellant's motion for rehearing had substantive merit.
2. Whether the prior opinion should be modified to replace the citation to the nonprofit-corporation statute with the substantially identical statute applicable to for-profit corporations.
