1Opinion of the Court
SELYA, Circuit Judge.
After two planned sales of Florida real estate cratered, the erstwhile purchasers sued in Puerto Rico’s federal district court for the return of earnest payments. The court dismissed their action for want of jurisdiction over the defendants (the developer and its general sales representative). The plaintiffs appeal. Based on the incomplete record before us, we cannot determine whether personal jurisdiction exists. Accordingly, we vacate the judgment below and remand for further development of the record.
