The Order denying SCO's motion for relief regarding spoliation of evidence has been signed by Magistrate Judge Brooke Wells. Groklaw reported on the hearing where Judge Wells ruled from the bench. Furthermore there is a PACER entry for yesterday's hearing giving a very short summary of the action: "The court took motions 775, 780 and 781 under advisement". That lists three motions, and we only heard reports about two, so that may be a clerk error, or perhaps one on our part.
A stipulation for more deposition and discovery delay popped up in the SCO v. Novell case. -- MathFox
