Fourth Law Firm Drops Ceglia's Case Against Facebook

For the fourth time in a row, a law firm has dropped its representation of Paul Ceglia in his claim to own half of Facebook. This morning, Edelson McGuire withdrew from the case.

For the fourth time in a row, a law firm has dropped its representation of Paul Ceglia in his claim to own half of Facebook. This morning, Edelson McGuire withdrew from the case.

Some describe Edelman as a plaintiffs’ class action firm, which seems like an odd choice for representing Ceglia.

Although Edelson hadn’t formally submitted any legal paperwork for Ceglia nor appeared in court on his behalf, Edelson had been involved in the court-ordered review of the document and electronic evidence over the past few weeks, according to an anonymous source.

Edelson’s exit comes just one month after DLA Piper withdrew from the case, following in the footsteps of prior counsel Dennis Vaco and, before that, Terrence Connors.
