The legal team for Paul Ceglia fired back at Facebook’s request to dismiss an ongoing lawsuit claiming that their client owns one-half of the social network, stating, among other things, that the plaintiffs were not given comparable time for discovery.

The opposition, filed with the U.S. District Court for the Western District of New York, repeatedly claims that Facebook’s request for dismissal was based on “disputed factual issues,” and that the social network’s legal team has “engaged in — and completed — months of broad, one-sided discovery,” while the plaintiff, Ceglia, has had no opportunity for discovery at all:
