I have not reviewed the documents in question, so forgive me if I'm wasting your time, but I suspect it was not, in fact, a warrant. Generally requests for so-called 'metadata' don't require the same amount of supporting evidence as search warrants (the theory being that you shouldn't have an expectation of privacy for that data). Lavabit was a service that explicitly provided a secure and private email to its paying customers. In my opinion, an expectation of privacy _did_ in fact exist for its user's 'metadata'.
