<p>The judge overseeing a dispute over GoDaddy’s clawback of expired domains has <a href="https://domainnamewire.com/wp-content/crisby-dismissed.pdf">dismissed the suit</a> (pdf) over subject matter jurisdiction.</p> <p>The Swedish company Crisby Studio AB bought calor.com (heat/hot in Spanish) in an expired domain auction at GoDaddy in early April this year. GoDaddy returned the domain to its previous registrant about two months later, and Crisby <a href="https://domainnamewire.com/2024/08/29/godaddy-sued-over-expired-domain-purchase-clawback/">sued GoDaddy</a> in August.</p> <p>A second plaintiff, Prime Loyalty, was later <a href="https://domainnamewire.com/2024/09/26/another-company-sues-godaddy-over-auction-clawback/">added to the suit</a>. It acquired the domain name butane.com for $19,755 in a GoDaddy auction and also had it clawed back by GoDaddy and returned to the same registrant as calor.com.</p> <p>GoDaddy argued that the lawsuit suffered from two fatal defects: (1) it did not allege the citizenship of the Plaintiff LLCs’ constituent members; and (2) because diversity jurisdiction is determined at the time of filing, adding Prime did not cure the initial lack of diversity.</p> <p>The court agreed and dismissed the case <em>without</em> prejudice. This means the lawsuit can be refiled.</p> <div class="scriptlesssocialsharing"><h3 class="scriptlesssocialsharing__heading">Share this post...</h3><div class="scriptlesssocialsharing__buttons"><a
