SCO Seems to Be Trying to Ramp Up AutoZone

http://www.groklaw.net – SCO sent the AutoZone judge a letter [PDF], which leaves me in little doubt that SCO yearns to ramp up the AutoZone case, which SCO tells the judge is in part about OpenServer. The letter is styled a status report. As you know, they had the status hearing today, and we'll have a transcript for you when it's available. Meanwhile, time to dig out the kites, so you can fly them in the wind SCO creates with its mighty spin on what happened in court in Utah in SCO v. Novell. Read »

Stay Lifted on AutoZone as of December 31st 14 weeks 1 day ago: The stay on SCO v. AutoZone has been lifted, and the case will resume after December 31. We learn this from the minutes of the status hearing that was held on the 22nd, now listed on PACER. I gather from the minutes that SCO asked for the stay to remain in place, which surprises me, but then again, nothing SCO does should surprise me any more.
David Boies Gets a Letter From the Appeals Court Chief Clerk 4 weeks 5 days ago: OK. I'm kidding around. It's probably just a form letter, not directed particularly to Boies or any other lawyers cc'd on the letter. It's from the Clerk of the Court of the Appeals Court for the Tenth Circuit. It's full of instructions, which will show you why appellate practice can be very annoying and why it costs you even if you paid your lawyer already ("In addition to the docketing statement, all transcripts must be ordered within 10 days of the date of this letter....
AutoZone Stirrings 20 weeks 1 day ago: Most of the attorneys who are listed as being involved in SCO v. AutoZone have been told that by the court they are in violation of Special Order 109, which is a requirement to participate in the electronic filing system. They are instructed to go to the US District Court for the District of Nevada website and sign up. It sounds quite alarming, the way it's worded, but trust me, they don't drag them out at dawn and shoot them for this or disbar anyone. It's just the wording of the notice, which is standard.
The Bankruptcy Hearing Schedule for Sept. 16th, a Letter, and a Spector Sideshow, but Where's York? 16 weeks 6 days ago: The Notice of Agenda [PDF] is posted now, and so we find out what is on the schedule for the SCO bankruptcy hearing on the 16th in Delaware.
Crimson Capital LLC et al v. Spartan Group Holding, Steven Norris, et al 16 weeks 6 days ago: When Novell suggested the other day to the Bankruptcy Court handling SCO's bankruptcy that the Steven Norris deal SCO announced (then withdrawn with a promise to make it better) might be bogus, we naturally wondered if there was anything new that Novell knows that caused them to say that. Then today, a comment was left by stats-for-all that there is a lawsuit against Norris alleging breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duties, shareholder oppression, and (in the alternative) unjust enrichment and promissory estoppel, Crimson Capital LLC et al v.
Novell and SCO Agree on Interest, Trust Amounts; Final Judgment Still in Dispute 18 weeks 4 days ago: Novell filed today, as per the deadline, two documents, one an unopposed filing regarding interest due Novell by SCO -- SCO has agreed to the sum of $918,122 in prejudgment interest and $489 per day until the final judgment is entered. That could be a while. The second filing informs the court that Novell still believes that a final judgment is premature, since the arbitration is not yet finished.
SCO Makes Its Move in Utah: Asks to Waive Claims, Get Final Judgment 16 weeks 2 days ago: SCO has filed a notice asking the Utah District Court to dismiss its stayed claims and issue a final judgment with respect to both the August 10, 2007 and the July 16th, 2008 orders, so SCO can appeal right now. It points out that Novell was told to file a final judgment, and it hasn't done so. This is what Novell told the court SCO was going to do next, and it indicated that it would be responding with its own "Oh, no you don't" memorandum in opposition pronto.
Straightening Out Some Silly Stuff Being Written About Apple v. Psystar 11 weeks 15 hours ago: All right. I wanted to goof off yesterday, but the amount of silly stories about the Apple v. Psystar case drove me to do some real digging and then write an article to try to tell you the real story. Here is the bottom line. Neither party is running and hiding from an open court. Neither party has given up or given in or decided to settle. It was the judge that sent the parties to ADR. Alternate Dispute Resolution, or ADR, is a process that the US District Court for the Northern District of California pushes in civil cases.

The Court found that the MBTA was not likely to prevail on the merits of its claim under the federal Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.
