Re:= Payne may hear argument 12-15 on the Sammy monstrosity

smd1234,

Thanks for that schedule update.

I was talking with another investor today and he got me thinking about this DOJ case and Payne with his attorney’s fees judgment pending. Also a Payne Order filed last week was another topic of discussion.

First off didn’t Payne chastise Rambus for filing the Samsung suite in California as a race to venue and hear Rambus’s argument as to how new DOJ documents proved Bad Faith on Samsungs part? If I remember correctly the Sammy audit refusal, newly discovered DOJ doc's, Sammy wanting a better deal than Infineon and other product infringements provoked this breakdown between them.

So my question is will the new developments in the criminal RDRAM price fixing admission carry any weight in Paynes court? Obviously Samsung is “Tainted” now with a crime that invites the suggestion of contractual Bad Faith.

One other point before I hit the hay is what did you make of 11/23/2005 91 ORDER granting [85] Motion to Seal Declarations and Exhibits by Samsung Electronics Signed by Judge Robert E. Payne. Why seal these documents, how does this weigh into the DOJ, Antitrust, Whyte cases or the settlement talks?

Lets pick this up in the morning if it has any merit.
