The Hon. Ted Stewart and the Hon. Tena Campbell

By Pamela Jones et al.

I have gotten emails asking me to explain what the appeals court ruling means. Other than what I already wrote, the simple truth is this: nobody knows, most especially me, at this point. It's so complicated, with the trustee being appointed. I see clearly, I think, what SCO's plan was in their vision of a perfect outcome, including in AutoZone, but now the appointment of the Chapter 11 trustee changes so much. And we don't know yet if there will be any attempts to further appeal or ask for en banc review. So, we will have to wait and see what happens. As soon as I can make out anything from the mist, I'll surely tell you what I see. But I can't write what I don't know.

In the meantime, would you like to meet the two new judges assigned? I don't even know if those assignments are permanent, in that one of the new judges assigned used to work for Sen. Orrin Hatch, and Hatch's son represents SCO, so who knows? Could there be another recusal? It's conceivable. Let's assume that things are set in stone, though, for now, and let me introduce you to the Honorable Ted Stewart and the Honorable Tena Campbell.
