A US judge has dismissed a copyright lawsuit against Lady Gaga filed by a Chicago songwriter who accused her of stealing parts of one of her songs 

Rebecca Francescatti filed the suit in US District Court in 2011, alleging that Lady Gaga had copied music and the title lyric from her 1998 song Juda.

Gaga's 2011 song is called Judas.

The judge ruled that the songs do not have common lyrics, have different themes and sound nothing alike musically.

The judge also concluded there was not enough evidence that Gaga could have heard or known about Francescatti's song before publishing Judas.
