John- Check the Federal Register that will tell what day Ann Bingham (Klien's predecessor) took office. As far as the Findings of Law go they stand and can be used in private anti-trust suits unless the are overturned by a higher court. Harvey P.S. Just as a matter of fact Microsoft is not invincible in the Appeal's Court. U.S. 1st Circuit Court of Appeals MICROSOFT CORP. v US We need go no further. The district court used the proper test, balanced the right array of factors, and acted well within its discretion in determining that the scales tipped in favor of preserving confidentiality and against the wholesale disclosure of investigative materials gleaned in the course of pre-publication academic research. Our confidence in the appropriateness of this ruling is fortified by the fact that the district court took pains to protect Microsoft's legitimate interests. After denying the motion to compel, the court announced that it would retain jurisdiction so that, should a material conflict develop between quotations from the book and other evidence, it could review the notes, tapes, and transcripts in camera for purposes of verification and, if necessary, order production. This even-handed ruling treats all parties fairly. We discern no error. Affirmed. caselaw.findlaw.com
