No. 97-4397.

708 So.2d 347 (1998)

MAERSK LINE, LTD., a New Jersey corporation, Appellant, v. Mark H. WEAVER, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

April 17, 1998.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Timothy J. Conner of Holland & Knight LLP, Jacksonville, for Appellant.

Lindsey C. Brock III and Charles T. Moore of Rumrell, Wagner & Costabel, Jacksonville, for Appellee.


BARFIELD, Chief Judge.

We find, as a matter of law, that the allegations of the amended complaint, taken together with the appellee's affidavit in opposition to the appellant's motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction, do not state a cause of action for the tort of outrageous conduct causing severe emotional distress. See Metropolitan Life Ins. Co. v. McCarson, 467 So.2d 277 (Fla.1985); Kent v. Harrison,
