with-holding.
The memorandum comes on the heels of a Hallowe’en conference between the two sides, where the administrative Judge handling the case ruled a final

eventuality arise.
IBM, understandably, wants this eventuality to turn up sooner, if possible, and the memorandum filed 3 November requests the court issue an Order to
compel SCO to deliver the documentation it has asked for.
