Novell Moves for Judgment on Slander; SCO Moves to Limit Closing Argument

Novell moves for judgment on slander of title and damages:
Defendant Novell, Inc. ("Novell") respectfully moves the Court to grant judgment as a matter of law in favor of Novell because plaintiff The SCO Group, Inc. ("SCO") has failed to introduce legally sufficient evidence upon which a reasonable jury could find for SCO on its claim for slander of title. Specifically, SCO has not shown that: (1) Novell acted withconstitutional malice, (2) Novell's statements were disparaging, (3) Novell's statements were unprivileged, (4) Novell's statements were false, or (5) Novell's statements caused special damages. Moreover, SCO has failed to introduce sufficient evidence supporting an award ofpunitive damages.
Meanwhile, The SCO Group wants to limit Novell's closing arguments:
Plaintiff, the SCO Group, Inc., respectfully submits this memorandum of points and authorities concerning the proper scope of closing arguments. Specifically, documents and testimony that have not been admitted into evidence at trial should not be shown or read to the jury, such as the demonstratives used by Novell during the testimony of Novell's expert, Mr. Terry Musika. SCO also objects to any attempt by Novell to argue to the jury that Novell's assertion to ownership applied only to UNIX, and not to UnixWare copyrights, extant at the time of the APA. SCO further objects to any attempt to argue to the jury points contrary to questions of law that have been decided by the Tenth Circuit opinion in this case.

NAME
Net::LDAP::Extra::eDirectory -- extensions for Novell eDirectory SYNOPSIS
use Net::LDAP::Extra qw(eDirectory); $ldap = Net::LDAP->new( ... ); ... if ($ldap->is_eDirectory) my $mesg $ldap->list_replicas($server_dn); print "Replicas on $server_dn * " . join(" * ", $mesg->replicas) . " " if (!$mesg->code); } DESCRIPTION
Net::LDAP::Extra::eDirectory provides functions / LDAP extensions specific to Novell eDirectory. To do so, it provides the following methods: METHODS
is_eDirectory ( ) Tell if the LDAP server queried is Novell eDirectory server. As the check is done by querying the root DSE of the directory, it works without being bound to the directory. In contrast to other Net::LDAP methods this method returns TRUE / FALSE respectively undef on error. list_replicas ( SERVER_DN, OPTIONS ) Query the the replicas on the given server SERVER_DN. On success, the resulting Net::LDAP::Message object supports the method "replicas" that returns the list of replicas on SERVER_DN. get_replica_info ( SERVER_DN, REPLICA_DN, OPTIONS ) Query information of REPLICA_DN on SERVER_DN. On success, the resulting Net::LDAP::Message object supports the method "replica_info" that returns a hash containing information on REPLICA_DN. trigger_backlinker ( OPTIONS ) Trigger the BackLinker process, which resolves external references to ensure they refer to real entries. trigger_janitor ( OPTIONS ) Trigger the Janitor process, which checks connectivity to all servers in database. trigger_limber ( OPTIONS ) Trigger the Limber process, which verifies the server name, internal ipx address and tree connectivity of all replicas. trigger_skulker ( OPTIONS ) Trigger the Skulker process, which checks the synchronization status of every server in the replica ring. trigger_schemasync ( OPTIONS ) Trigger SchemaSync. trigger_partitionpurge ( OPTIONS ) Trigger PartitionPurge. refresh_ldap_server ( OPTIONS ) Trigger refreshing the NLDAP service.
