Ceglia Refuses to Obey Court Order in Facebook Suit

The New York man who is suing Facebook and its founder, Mark Zuckerberg, for half ownership of the social-networking giant, instructed his lawyer not to comply with a court order to turn over evidence in the case, according to court filings. Facebook filed a motion in U.S. District Court in Buffalo, N.Y., to compel Paul Ceglia to comply with an August 18 order to turn over e-mail accounts and passwords.
