Quasi in rem

Explanation:

First of all," quasi in rem" is Latin for "as if against a thing". This jurisdiction principle enables a citizen from another state to take legal action against a citizen of the state based on his/her property rights.

In this case, this means that a California court does have legal rights over David's property and can execute Patricia's valid judgement against it.
