Just Manny being Manny

Just Manny being Manny: The Manny expected to patrol left field tonight for the Los Angeles Dodgers (as reported here and here, among many other places) is not the only controversial Manny in the City of Angels.

Today, in a ruling that you can access here, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit decided to reassign a patent infringement case away from another controversial Los Angeles-based Manny (read law.com's lengthy bio at this link), who was serving as trial judge in the case even though it was being litigated in the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona.

And wasn't it just last week that WSJ.com's "Law Blog" had a post titled "Another Case Pulled from Judge Manuel Real's Docket" about a different case from the one in which the Federal Circuit issued its ruling today?

Update: Brent Kendall, now of Dow Jones Newswires, reports on the merits of the Federal Circuit's ruling today in an article headlined "Appeals Court Revives Patent Suit Against Microsoft."
