Showell Farms, Inc., 83 F.3d 415, 1996 WL 192058, at *2 (4th Cir.1996) (unpublished) (“sales to a single customer ... does not constitute the requisite minimum contacts necessary to satisfy ‘fair play and substantial justice’ and to establish general jurisdiction for a suit not related to the sale of that product”); Atlantigas, 290 F.Supp.2d at 53 (exercising general jurisdiction over foreign corporation with only three District customers would “stretch the concept of general jurisdiction beyond what either the [long-arm] statute or due process permits”).
