Final Pretrial Order in SCO v Novell Delayed to Aug. 17
Thursday, August 09 2007 @ 11:16 PM EDT

Yesterday, I mentioned that today was the deadline to file the Final Pre-trial Order. Now there's a stipulated motion in SCO v. Novell for an extension until August 17 to file it. And there is an Order granting the stipulated motion to extend the time to object to Rule 26(a)(3) disclosures.

Here are the docket entries:

375 - Filed & Entered: 08/09/2007
Motion for Extension of Time
Docket Text: Stipulated MOTION for Extension of Time for Submission of Pre-Trial Order filed by Plaintiff SCO Group. (Attachments: # (1) Text of Proposed Order) Motions referred to Brooke C. Wells.(Normand, Edward)

376 - Filed & Entered: 08/09/2007
Order on Motion for Extension of Time
Docket Text: ORDER granting [374] Motion for Extension of Time to file objections to the Pre-Trial Rule 26(a)(3) Disclosures until 8/31/07. Signed by Judge Dale A. Kimball on 8/9/07. (kla)

Don't ask me. Something is up, but I really can't say what. I'm sure we'll find out in due time.

call the clerk?
Authored by: Anonymous on Thursday, August 09 2007 @ 11:49 PM EDT
I am not a lawyer and I do not know anything US law.
Below is my proposal - what do the people that know the law think??

Can't someone call the judge's clerk to find out if they know something about
what is going on?

The court may have had some contact (?) with the parties without us knowing (?),
and this information may not be confidential (?) but just not published (?).

Settling
Authored by: argee on Friday, August 10 2007 @ 12:19 AM EDT
Maybe they are settling. SCO gets to own all the UNIX
copyrights, and Microsoft antes the money for SCO to
make it happen. Then Novell and MS buddy up on the patent
thing, and bingo!

:-(

My guess (tongue in cheek)
Authored by: dmarker on Friday, August 10 2007 @ 04:11 AM EDT

The Judge has advised the parties what he intends doing re PSJ & the muck
has hit the fan as tSCOg realize their flimsy boat has at last hit the shoals.

Big scramble on to limit the damage and prepare for the bailing out that will
become a necessity.

So my guess is the judge is being kind but really protecting his butt while the
obvious conclusion is being reached.

I'm sure we'll find out in due time.

Or later, as stipulated :-)

Final Pretrial Order in SCO v Novell Delayed to Aug. 17

Is it that Novels new heavy lifter has just come to the notice of Darl and his
team?

Three weeks?
Authored by: Anonymous on Friday, August 10 2007 @ 01:36 PM EDT
Interesting that SCO asked for 8 days (8/17) and got 22 (8/31).

My rationale
Authored by: DMF on Friday, August 10 2007 @ 01:49 PM EDT
The parties really don't want to submit the Final Order until Da Judge rules on
the pending motions. (Any chance I'm wrong?)

They've concocted a delay and let it be known (soto voce) that they're actually
waiting for the judge. By implication they could keep filing stipulated
extensions.

The reason that Judge Kimball extended to 8/31 is to cover HIS schedule and
avoid more extensions. Expect rulings on the SJ motions (at al.) before the
24th.

  • My rationale - Authored by: Anonymous on Friday, August 10 2007 @ 03:09 PM EDT
So, what is an objection to a Rule 26(a)(3) disclosure?
Authored by: IMANAL on Friday, August 10 2007 @ 04:31 PM EDT
I searched for it on Groklaw, and got 28 items in about 2.5 seconds. One of the most informative remarks among these, as well as the oldest of the hits was this a remark by futureweaver which explains:

"The 26(a)(3) disclosures are the lists of witnesses, depositions, and exhibits that will be produced at trial."
