MSS2, The following is the link where I track this case: www.pacermonitor.com/public/case/1644655/SCO_Grp,_et_al_v_Intl_Bus_Mach_Inc It only shows the most recent docket items from the District Court in Utah, but at least it gives you a clue if there is anything happening there. While the appeal was in progress in Denver, nothing showed up here. Then, when the case returned to Utah, new entries started showing up once again. The landscape of websites that track legal cases shifts continuously. I've used plainsite.org a few times, and courtlistener.com seems to be on the ascent, while unitedstatescourts.org has basically shut down. Note also that district courts and appellate courts have independent systems for providing case information, and a source of information for one may not work for the other. I should also point out that, while Pacer charges for its services (even running a query), the minimum charge per quarter is $15, so if you stay below that, you don't pay anything. I have never reached the limit in any quarter, so I have been freeloading up to now. Quite an enjoyable feeling, actually.

"If you use PACER, install RECAP. Once installed, every docket or PDF you purchase on PACER will be added to the RECAP Archive. Anything somebody else has added to the archive will be available to you for free — right in PACER itself." free.law/recap/

Pacer Monitor shows a "Docket Order Lifting Stay" filed on May 14, 2018, and hitting Pacer (or at least Pacer Monitor) 11 hours ago. So the Utah court has finally started moving on the Appeals Court's ruling...

Interesting. I just hit the case on Pacer and I don't see anything new. I'll look again tomorrow.

Ugh. And that was because I was still looking at the 10th Circuit case. Sigh.

Enquiring minds will need to know whether it will end with a bang or a whimper. It is rather looking like the latter. But when?
I know that the US legal system can move at glacial pace, but glaciers do actually move...
Is there any "prior art" concerning the duration of cases with no merit whatsoever? On Groklaw I once mentioned two in the UK, specifically England and Wales, which went on for very many years, one having no merit as it was about a worthless lead mine, and the other of considerable merit as it was about a railway being restored which had been obstructed by a new power station reservoir. But I get the feeling that such cases are in a very small minority. Perhaps an entry in the Guiness Book of Records awaits SCO vs IBM?

I suspect the case will peter out some time in the 22nd Century CE.

I just had a thought. BSF as they were (I think there were some names changed along the way) were paid up front and are obligated to fight on to the very end of what they were contracted to do, through as many generations of staff as it takes. But what if some corporate calamity, or action by some regulatory agency following some wrong-doing, brought BSF to an end? Would the case die?

There are days when I think .... everyone who cares about the SCO case will die before the case itself ever will. If the case dies and nobody knows ... is it really dead? If the case is still going, and nobody who cares is alive anymore ... is that case really alive?
Perhaps as long as there is even one greedy ignorant business man left alive who wishes to monetize Linux with Unix, the SCO case will never die. May it only live on in the tiny little cold black hole in what is left of that persons heart.

The trustee could hire another legal team. Where would he get the money though. With a record of failure like this, I suspect The SCO Group is now considered a bad credit risk.

PACER gives you $15 of "house money" each quarter, such that if you don't spend more than that, you don't get charged anything.
We are nearing the end of another quarter, and I have house money to burn. So I decided to checked in to SCO v. IBM just to see if anything has happened in the last 3 months. Nope. Nothing. Cricket chirps.
Eventually something will happen. We will be there when it does. We are patient. SCO v. IBM cannot hide forever.

Aye, I've been watching for - well, ANYTHING regarding this case. As you put it - crickets. There's nothing happening, or it's VERY hush-hush.

I have a suspicion (nothing more than that) that they're trying mediation, and that the judge is giving them time to do so. Their joint status report said that mediation had never been tried in the case. It's possible that was a hint.

Goodbye,pacermonitor. pacermonitor.com was my goto website to monitor progress (or lack therof) r.e. SCO v. IBM. No more - it now comes up with "Plans and Pricing" - an attempt to extort money from folks mesmerized by watching a zombie. Whatever. You can still track the case at www.courtlistener.com/docket/4402469/sco-grp-v-intl-bus-mach-inc/?page=6Be aware that courtlistener is not always the most current. Nevertheless, nothing substantive has happened since Feb 16 of last year. Well OK, Edward Cahn did submit a filing to the Bankruptcy Court in Delaware on Sep 14 last year, but it just regurgitated the Status Report from Feb 16. Move along, nothing to see. The longest duration of a zombie lawsuit anywhere was 212 years. We have not yet begun to fight.
