Lawyers representing the New York wood pellet salesman who claims he is entitled to a huge stake in Facebook have withdrawn from the case, according to a court filing.

Two law firms representing Paul Ceglia, including global law firm DLA Piper, submitted a filing in a Buffalo, New York federal court on Tuesday announcing that they would be replaced by another attorney.

The filing did not provide a reason for the switch.
