Psystar, as you know, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Already, it's not going well.
One of the very first motions you see in a bankruptcy is the one that lets the company continue to use business forms, like checks, for example. Normally, it's a no-brainer, as you saw in the SCO bankruptcy, where the motion [PDF] was filed on September 14, 2007, at a September 17 hearing a second hearing was scheduled on that motion for October 5th, and the order [PDF] granted the motion that same day. Such motions are normally granted without debate.
Psystar's motion was just denied [PDF]. It can't use its checks or bank deposit slips. I take that as a sign that Apple's recent motion to lift the stay will likely be granted shortly. Apple argued that there can be no reorganization of Psystar's business, until a court rules on whether that business is even legal. Apple, interestingly, used the SCO bankruptcy as precedent in its motion.
