Judge Leslie Foschio ruled Wednesday that Ceglia's attorneys cannot search Zuckerberg's personal computers or question him about the suit, though they will be able to challenge Facebook's claims of forgery.
"We are very pleased with today's ruling," Facebook lawyer Orin Snyder said Tuesday. "The court denied Ceglia's request for broad discovery and continues to focus these proceedings solely on the question of Ceglia's criminal fraud. We welcome the opportunity to develop additional evidence of Ceglia's misconduct and look forward to having him held accountable."
In a statement to the Associated Press, Ceglia's attorneys said, "We are hopeful that once we have obtained and presented this information, the court will deny the defendants' motions to dismiss and allow the case to proceed to full discovery and an eventual trial."
