What's Scheduled for the July 27th Bankruptcy Hearing?

By Pamela Jones et al.

We have the Notice of Agenda, the list of all the matters that will be handled at the SCO bankruptcy hearing on the 27th, barring any more Perry Mason moments, and Noah Phillips' motion for admission pro hac vice was granted. So he hops on board just in time for the most intriguing hearing ever. Barring last-minute dramatics, the agenda boils down to the three motions by IBM, Novell and the US Trustee to convert, or dismiss, SCO's bankruptcy to Chapter 7, plus SCO's motion to sell to unXis, and its motion for authority to assume and assign executory contracts and leases, and finally the SCO motion to seal the Appendix to its response to the IBM and Novell motions to dismiss or convert.

But there absolutely will be dramatics, I think we can safely assume, due to the information IBM has presented in its Objection to the sale on what it has found out in discovery. The word fraud has surfaced, and allegations of bad faith, so nothing else matters in comparison.
