This should help us follow what is happening with the many motions in limine and motions for Daubert hearings in SCO v. Novell: a chart showing each motion, the memorandum in opposition, and the judge's order.

Well, here we go. The new judge in the redo of SCO v. Novell has issued his decision on the two Novell summary judgment motions, and I've only skimmed them, but it looks like if it's Novell, he says mostly no and if it favors SCO he says yes, which is what I expected. That means the hearing set for February 4 has been cancelled. No oral argument. Weird.

We finally have permission from the court to share the transcript of the hearing on the summary judgment motions [PDF] heard on April 30th, on the second day of the Novell-SCO trial in Utah, with you. Yay!

An anonymous poster told us about a recent order from Judge Kimball in another case, unrelated to SCO, but one that references his own decision in SCO v. Novell. So I took a look at the order, and it answers a question I've had, namely, what if, at trial, a judge were to realize he'd made a mistake on an earlier ruling on summary judgment motions? Is it too late to fix it?

"The court's rulings on the numerous summary judgment motions in SCO v. Novell are in a document that is long and complex, and I'm still reading and analyzing it myself."

We now have the transcript [PDF] of the February 25, 2010 combined hearing on Novell's Daubert motions and final pre-trial conference between the parties in SCO v. Novell before Judge Stewart.

Novell and Microsoft have each filed summary judgment motions in the antitrust litigation about WordPerfect that Novell brought against Microsoft. In addition, we find out what happened regarding the Bill Gates deposition. And neither party can find certain documents that might be in the Comes collection. I wonder if you can?

SCO and Novell have jointly filed an intriguing document, Joint Motion for Extension Regarding Deadlines for Proposed Final Judgment and Pre-Judgment Interest Submission [PDF], and we find out what's been going on since the trial ended early in May.

It seems Novell moved for mistrial on March 15 at the trial in SCO v. Novell. And there has been a decision on Novell's motion to allow evidence. The docket doesn't yet reflect the order on the motion to allow evidence, but you can see that it happened in this, the full text of the order on the oral motion by Novell for a mistrial...
