After losing yet another set of lawyers last month, Paul Ceglia, the man claiming to own at least half of Facebook, now wants a judge to exile Facebook’s lawyers at Gibson Dunn & Crutcher and strip them of their fees. Facebook’s lawyers, meanwhile, want a court order forcing Ceglia to turn over a letter they say shows once and for all that he’s a fraud.
Ceglia, who is represented by Lakewood, Ohio-based solo Dean Boland and Paul Argentieri of Hornell, N.Y., filed a motion on June 16 in U.S. District Court in Buffalo to disqualify Gibson Dunn from representing Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg. He argues that the same lawyers can’t ethically represent both Facebook and its founder because the defendants have conflicting interests. The motion also argues that Gibson Dunn must disgorge all the fees it has earned from the case.
