A Florida resident is sued in a civil action by a federal…

Yes, the Florida resident may have personal jurisdiction to sue the federal agency in Florida. The fact that the resident no longer lives in Florida may not be relevant if the claim arises from events that occurred while the resident was living and working in Florida. Additionally, if the federal agency committed fraud on the court in Florida, that may be considered an intentional tort or civil conspiracy that occurred in Florida, which could give rise to personal jurisdiction over the agency in Florida.

If the fraud on the court occurred in Oregon and the federal agency branch that sued the Florida resident is located in Oregon, it may be more difficult to establish personal jurisdiction over the agency in Florida. However, the specific facts of the case and the applicable laws will ultimately determine whether the Florida resident has a viable claim for personal jurisdiction in Florida.

If the federal agency sued the Florida resident for something that allegedly occurred while he was living and working in Florida, that may still give rise to personal jurisdiction in Florida, even if the agency is located in Oregon and committed the fraud there.
