Microsoft case could move to Supreme Court
San Jose Mercury News, 11/7/98

An obscure law could move the Microsoft antitrust
case to the Supreme Court quickly, possibly as soon as
the fall of 1999. Any U.S. District Court judge who hears
an antitrust case has the power under federal law to
speed the case along, cutting out the U.S. Court of
Appeals, if the matter is of ''general public importance in
the administration of justice,'' legal experts say. Judge
Thomas Penfield Jackson might well be inclined to refer
the case to the Supreme Court, given his interest in
speeding a decision. In addition, an appellate panel
overruled a previous Jackson ruling in a related
Microsoft case -- strong reason for both the judge and
the government to seek a different venue.
