CAS said in a statement the case was outside the jurisdiction of its ad hoc court.
Neither Munfaredi nor INASGOC responded to Around the Rings' requests for more information and comment. TheInternational Ju-Jitsu Federation was unavailable for comment.

Afghanistan paraglider Lida Hozoori remains in hospital with serious neck injuries, according to reports.
Hozoori, along with Chinese paraglider Wang Jianwei, were helicoptered from the paragliding competition in Palembang on Aug. 22.
The full extent of Hozoori’s injuries is not yet clear. Wang is said to be stable having onlybroken his leg.
The incidents took place on the first day of paragliding competition at the Asian Games. Both Hozoori and Wang were competing in the accuracy event.
Afghan NOC president Hafizullah Wali Rahimi told ATR he had visited Hozoori in hospital, confirming her injuries were not life threatening. "She walks and her reports were not a big concern. She will be in the hospital for a few more days to fully recover," he said.
