Facebook has just filed a motion for expedited discovery in its case against Paul Ceglia, the man who is claiming that he holds a major stake in Facebook based on a contract he allegedly signed with Mark Zuckerberg back in 2003. There was plenty ofinitialskepticism around the case (who could possibly forget that they owned a major stake in one of the most successful companies of the decade?), but people starting taking it more seriously when Ceglia landed representation from DLA Piper, and a series of potentially legitimate email exchanges surfaced. Now Facebook is striking back, and it's not mincing its words.The document, embedded below, is a concerted attack on Ceglia's character and criminal history. Facebook is asking the court to grant expedited, targeted discovery that would require Ceglia to produce the original contract between Zuckerberg and Ceglia, as well as original copies of their email exchanges. Facebook also wants access to all of Ceglia's computers. Facebook's argument is that with this evidence (or lack thereof), it can prove that Ceglia's claim is fraudulent, which would render a full discovery process unnecessary.
