UPDATED: The order has been signed by Judge Kimball. SCO has until March 5. The Order is at the end of the original story, following the Stipulation. Notice that Judge Kimball is apparently accepting the assignment to be the judge assigned to the Novell matter. His order is based on the stipulation of the parties. If the parties agree, the judge normally does go along with their stipulation.

ORIGINAL STORY:
It looks like Novell's attorneys are no dopes. SCO asked for more time to file a memo in opposition to Novell's Motion to Dismiss, and Novell said OK, on one condition: SCO can't file any other papers until it files this memorandum.
They maybe have observed a pattern in Delaware, eh? Here's what the court docket says:
2/27/04 9 Stipulation by SCO Grp, Novell Inc stipulated to extend time for SCO to file a memo in opposition to Novell's motion to dismiss up to and including 3/5/04. SCO will not file any further pleadings in the matter until it files its opposition memo. (blk) [Entry date 03/01/04]
