Redacted Document
Docket Text: REDACTION to [183] Sealed Document, SCO's Memorandum in Opposition to Novell's Motion for Partial Summary Judgment or Preliminary Injunction and In Support of SCO's Cross Motion for Summary Judgment or Partial Summary Judgment by Counter Defendant SCO Group, Plaintiff SCO Group. (Attachments: # (1) Part 2 # (2) Appendix A)(Normand, Edward)

As you can see, the hearing on the 11th on Novell's motion to compel was resolved between the parties, meaning Novell got what it wanted, presumably. And Judge Kimball granted SCO its Motion for Extension of Time, so it has until the 17th to file its response to Novell's motion for summary judgment on Novell's Fourth Claim. He signed it on the 9th, which is the day Novell filed its opposition, which could even mean he didn't read it. Or he could have. It's only five days, after all.

208 might seem odd. It's an order granting SCO, upon stipulation of the parties, until December 12th, 2006 to file a response, but it's signed in January, which indicates to me that Judge Kimball is catching up on backlog after the holidays.

The interesting filing, though, is the last one, SCO's Redacted Reply Memorandum in Opposition to Novell's Motion for Partial Summary Judgment or Preliminary Injunction and In Support of SCO's Cross Motion for Summary Judgment or Partial Summary Judgment by Counter Defendant SCO Group. This is the one where Novell is asking for its money. SCO characterizes it as asking the Court "to employ what the United States Supreme Court has described as 'the nuclear weapon of the law' in seeking to tie up SCO's assets and thereby effectively put SCO out of business."

That is the trouble with starting wars. The other side is likely to shoot back. I haven't finished reading it, so we'll do that together. If anyone can OCR for me, I'd appreciate it.
