Judge Dale Kimball, the judge presiding over SCO v. Novell, which was just sent back to him when the Bankruptcy Court in Delaware lifted the automatic stay, has issued an order [PDF]. He'd like the parties to tell him what's left, can any of it be handled by summary judgment, and does the subtraction of the constructive trust issue mean the trial will be shorter. Any other matters they'd like to tell him about in the joint statement he leaves to their discretion. And he'd like to know by the 13th. Their answers will impact how soon he can schedule the trial, but he's interested in doing so as soon as possible.
