Not only is it badly garbled, is it wrong?
Chuck Mulloy, an Intel spokesman, said that at Wednesday's hearing, Intel argued that AMD should now be precluded from obtaining discovery outside the United States.
Here is some language form Reuters which would seem to indicate that discovery had been on going since after the joinder of issues and that NOW Intel argument at the hearing to overturn the minute order was that any discovery with respect to the issues of the order should cease:
"Our view of the judge's order is that anything related to foreign jurisdictions, be it damages or discovery, is no longer part of the U.S. case," he said. ...
According to Mulloy, the judge directed both companies to work with the case's court-appointed special master, Blank Rome LLP partner Vincent Poppiti, on discovery-related matters.
