Well that shoots down the "Rambus asked for the extension" theory. It looks like some Judge passed away that Stone knew. So if the reschedule was asked for by Rambus, it was so Stone could go to attend a service.
Then in determining a new date the Samsung's attorney's operation came into play.
It sounds like payne doesn't want to rack up anymore legal fees, but it does sound like Samsung still wants to proceed on the exceptional case issue.
"THE COURT: All right. Is there anything else you all need to deal with? I sent you an order saying that, when we were having this hearing on the 19th, that if you wanted to argue the issue of the exceptional case, you could do that, in view of the decision in Hynix v. Rambus. Does anybody need any additional briefing by virtue of that situation?"
So that is an interesting statement that can be taken many ways. Because of the Hynix case, you Samsung can argue exceptional case. Or, Rambus, because of the Hynix case, you can argue it's not an exceptional case, where previously I wouldn't have listened to a word you say.
Frankly, I don't see that the tiger has changed his stripes, or rather, that the slug has changed his slime. He may not want to generate anymore fees, because he doesn't want to read any more briefs that would undermine what his ruling is already written as.
I still look for a fvcking from payne, and one last chance to by below $30.
