OPINION AND ORDER Before the Court is a motion to dismiss the complaint for want of personal jurisdiction. See Motion to Dismiss, ECF No. 12. For the reasons that follow, the motion is denied.”In reviewing a motion to dismiss pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b) (2), a court may look to evidence outside the pleadings.” Sandoval v. Abaco Club on Winding Bay, 507 F. Supp. 2d 312, 315 (S.D.N.Y. 2007). “The plaintiff bears the burden of establishing personal jurisdiction over the defendant.

Dorchester Fin. Sec., Inc. v. Banco BRJ, S.A., 722 F.3d 81, 85-86 (2d Cir. 2013) (per curiam).Here, the Court did not find it necessary to hold a hearing, because the facts, as alleged in the pleadings and supplemented by the parties’ submissions, are largely undisputed. Plaintiff Roxx Allison Ltd. is a jewelry wholesaler incorporated and located in New York. First Amended Compl. (“1AC”) 1, ECF No. 7. Defendant The Jewelers Inc. is a jewelry retailer incorporated and located in Las Vegas, Nevada. Yerushalmi Decl. 2, ECF No. 14.

Over the next several years, Roxx Allison sold pieces to The Jewelers on numerous occasions.
