Portions of SCO's Expert Reports Stricken

rm69990 writes "A day after Judge Dale Kimball reaffirmed Judge Wells' order tossing most of SCO's case, Judge Wells has stricken large portions of SCO's expert reports, stating that SCO was trying to do an end-run around IBM. As IBM put it in its motion papers, SCO will not be allowed to 'litigate by ambush.' This motion was regarding SCO's expert reports, where SCO attempted to insert new evidence after discovery had ended via their expert reports. Wells' ruled directly from the bench, and finished by telling SCO to 'take it up with Judge Kimball' if they had a problem. This really hasn't been a good week for SCO."

The trial or the posting of dupes on Slashdot?

Darl isn't looking so good these days.

Darl is looking pretty rough these days [uita.org]. I wonder what could be weighing him down so much.

His conscience, maybe?

Poor SCO

Poor SCO, lets see if I can squeeze out a tear of sympathy.

NNNNNHHHH!

Nope.

Even Microsoft dropped SCO

[Tuqui]

SCO case is over, even M$ put their money with Novell now.
They already abandoned SCO.

"This really hasn't been a good week for SCO."

[ettlz]

Well that pretty much defines "good week for the rest of us".

"take it up with Judge Kimball"

[Anonymous Coward]

SCO should claim that their code was inserted into Linux by a one-armed man. Then Kimball would probably be more inclined to believe them.

I would stab myself in the face.

[DaveCar]

Total hypo, but what if you were SCO?

If I were SCO I would hypothetically stab myself in the face.

The I would stab Darl McBride in the face, then I would stab my lawyer, Lionel Hutz or whatever he is called, in the face.

The I would take my pitiful penny-stocks and wail and gnash and think about the old days when I used to make products instead of just making people sick.

Caldera

[alexj33]

Perhaps Disney can now sue SCO because the Caldera symbol looks like a Mickey Mouse ear? (I'll admit that I could never see the "C" in their symbol until a few weeks ago)

Lawyers work for money, not companies.
