This is interesting. We get to learn now what it was the U.S. Trustee's Office's representative, Joseph McMahon, was fighting for when he objected to the complete sealing of the AutoZone-SCO settlement agreement. He objected to the parties being allowed to block all public access to any discussion about it at hearings, and he objected to them being able to redact all transcripts of any discussions about the settlement. The settlement agreement itself remains sealed.
Remember at
the last SCO bankruptcy hearing, the one mostly about Wayne Gray, it ended with the AutoZone sealing conflict unresolved when time ran out, and Cahn's lawyer Bonnie Glantz Fatell said she'd continue to discuss the issue with Mr. McMahon and file the agreement under seal and the judge could sign it on certification of counsel? She has now filed the Certification of Counsel, and attached as Exhibit 2 there's a red-lined version of their compromise order, showing the changes he fought for.
