Back Off Metadata Ethics Complaint, Judge Tells Lawyer Suing Sexploits Blogger.  "A lawyer who claims he was the paramour identified as “RS” on a blog of sexual exploits has been warned by a judge to back off on an ethics allegation against the blogger’s bankruptcy counsel.  U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Margaret Cangilos-Ruiz of the Northern District of New York said lawyer Robert Steinbuch claimed the bankruptcy counsel was improperly accessing metadata, but in reality the supposed hidden data was a document name visible to anyone when the court generated a notice of electronic filing, the New York Law Journal reports.  The judge also labeled Steinbuch’s suggestion that a notice of deposition had interfered with a religious holiday as “blatantly misleading and baseless,” since the notice was received before the holiday began, and the deposition was scheduled to take place after the holiday had ended, according to her June 5 opinion (PDF posted by the New York Law Journal) in the case. . .
