A gardener, a citizen of State A, sues a homeowner, a citizen of State B, in a State A federal court seeking damages for breach of contract. It would not violate the Due Process Clause of the U.S. Constitution for a State A federal court to hear the case. However, State A's long-arm statute would not grant a State A state court jurisdiction over the homeowner.

Required:
Can the State A federal court exert personal jurisdiction over the homeowner?
