Attorneys for Plaintiff The SCO Group, Inc.
IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF UTAH
THE SCO GROUP, INC.
Plaintiff/Counterclaim-Defendant,
vs.
INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION,
Defendant/Counterclaim-Plaintiff
| PLAINTIFF'S RENEWED MOTION TO COMPEL
Civil No. 2:03CV0294 DAK
Honorable Dale A. Kimball
Magistrate Judge Brooke Wells
|
Plaintiff The SCO Group, Inc. ("SCO") hereby renews its previously granted
Motion to Compel and moves the Court pursuant to Rule 37(b)(2) of the Federal Rules of
Civil Procedure to again order International Business Machines Corporation
("IBM") to respond completely and properly to SCO's discovery requests as
previously ordered by the Court.
SCO's Motion is based on the following grounds:
On March 3, 2004, the Court ordered IBM to provide specified discovery and otherwise
to supplement its deficient responses to SCO's First Requests for Production of Documents
and First Set of Interrogatories. IBM has failed to comply with its discovery obligations
and the Court's Order.
In particular, the Court ordered IBM to produce documents from senior management,
including Sam Palmisano and Irving Wladawsky-Berger. IBM has produced only a limited
number of well-filtered documents from Mr. Palmisano's file and has excluded any notes,
memos, correspondence, emails or other documents authored or edited by Mr. Palmisano.
IBM has produced no documents from Mr. Wladawsky-Berger's file, and no documents from
the files of individual members of IBM's Board of directors. IBM should be ordered to
comply with the Court's March 3, 2004 Order by providing the full files of Mr. Palmisano,
Mr. Wladawsky-Berger, IBM's Board, including Board minutes, Board packages, and other
relevant Board materials, and all other documents relevant to SCO's requests that this
Court previously Ordered be produced, and that SCO originally requested on June 24, 2003.
Alternatively, if IBM continues to take the position that no responsive documents exist,
the Court should order IBM to provide certifications from Mr. Palmisano, Mr.
Wladawsky-Berger, and the members of IBM's Board, stating that they have no relevant e-mail
files, Board minutes, Board packages, or other Board materials that address the issues
relevant to this case.
In addition, the Court ordered IBM to provide further answers to Interrogatories 2, 5,
and 11. IBM has failed to properly supplement SCO's Interrogatory 5 which sought information
regarding the individuals who worked on developing source code for IBM's AIX, Dynix and
Linux products and the contributions of these persons to these products. Rather than
respond as the Court ordered, IBM has told SCO it should get the information sought in
Interrogatory 5 from the AIX and Dynix products themselves. The AIX and Dynix code do not,
however, provide the information the Court ordered IBM to produce. This information is
readily available on IBM's Configuration Management Version Control ("CMVC") and
Revision Control System ("RCS") IBM should be ordered to give SCO unfettered
access to CMVC and RCS, which systems are clearly relevant to SCO's claims, to SCO's
defenses of IBM's counterclaims, and to SCO's discovery requests.
Finally, and again despite the Court's order to the contrary, IBM has failed to provide
contact information relating to individuals identified in IBM's interrogatory responses.
Consistent with the March 3rd Order, SCO asked IBM to identify 134 individuals
for which IBM possessed contact information. This Court should order IBM to provide the
contact information in its possession for the 134 identified individuals and any other
witnesses IBM intends to call at trial.
The Court should again order IBM to provide immediate and complete responses to SCO's
discovery requests and should grant whatever other relief the Court deems appropriate to
ensure IBM does not disregard the Court's orders in the future.
SCO's Motion is supported by the Memorandum in Support of Plaintiff's Renewed Motion to
Compel filed concurrently herewith.
DATED this 6th day of July, 2004.
