CITY OF LA CROSSE v. DAVID ALBERTO MONTEALEGRE
WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN (MADISON)
3:10-CV-00480
FILED: 8/24/2010
If you are going to allow a technology employee or web host to register domain names for your business make sure you have access to the registrar’s account so that you can change registrant information at will. These types of problems in which an individual has control of a domain name are very common.
The City of La Crosse, Wisconsin is suing its former director of technology for the purpose of obtaining city domain names Mr. Montealgre now possesses. The Defendant has been indicted for bankruptcy fraud and his services have been terminated by the City of La Crosse but he has failed to turn over the registration of all of the domain names he was maintaining for the city.
Plaintiff claims cybersquatting, unjust enrichment, and breach of fiduciary duty and requests that the domain names in question are transferred to the City of La Crosse along with any other domain names purchased for the city or with city funds and that Defendant be held responsible for Plaintiff’s attorney fees and costs. Traverse Internet Law Cross-Reference Number 1448.
