In lieu of staying with the team at the hotel Remy and Rice took advantage of Remy's condo and crashed in his South Beach waterfront "man cave". At the conclusion of the baseball games, Rice borrowed Remy's SUV to drive to Atlanta, Georgia to visit a female friend.. He promises Remy he will return the car will a full tank of gas in two days. While operating Remy's car the next day, Rice is involved in a car accident in Augusta, Georgia. As a result of the accident, Jenny Kim, Rice's girlfriend, is injured. Ms. Kim's attorney, prior to bringing an action to recover for her injuries, learns that Jerry Rice did not have a valid driver's license.

Kim's counsel files a lawsuit in the Buckshead County Superior Court in Georgia against Remy alleging that he was negligent in lending his car to Rice when he knew or should have known that Rice didn't have a valid license. Remy seeks to dismiss the action on the grounds that Georgia courts lack jurisdiction over him, citing the facts that he does not live in Georgia, he has no family in Georgia, he has no property in Georgia and he has never conducted any business in Georgia.
