Judge tells Ceglia to return to US

PAUL CEGLIA, who claims he has a contract that gives him half of Facebook Inc founder Mark Zuckerberg’s holdings, was ordered to return to the US from Ireland to locate evidence in his case.

Magistrate Judge Leslie Foschio yesterday ordered Ceglia, who has been living in Ireland for several months, to return to the US to search for removable computer storage devices he claims are no longer in his possession.

Foschio gave Ceglia until December 2 to find and turn over the items or provide a sworn declaration explaining how he lost or disposed of them. Foschio also said Facebook may subpoena information from several providers for Web-based email accounts used by Ceglia since 2003.
