The Wellsville man who claims he owns half of Facebook has hired five more lawyers.Paul Ceglia's lead attorney, Dean Boland, says the addition of three attorneys from the New York City firm of Milberg LLP, along with attorneys Peter Skivington of Geneseo and Robert Calihan of Rochester should be seen as an indication of the strength of the case.
Ceglia is suing Facebook and founder Mark Zuckerberg, claiming a contract he signed with Zuckerberg in 2003 entitles him to half of the multi-billion dollar social networking site.
Lawyers for Facebook say the contract is fake. Zuckerbreg says he did have a deal with Ceglia, but it had nothing to do with Facebook.
A scheduling conference is set for April 4.
