Apple Tells CA Court About Psystar's FL Move; Asks for Transfer/Consolidation and More Discovery

By Pamela Jones et al.

Apple has let the California court know about Psystar filing an almost identical complaint in Florida [text], trying to litigate there the same issues already before the California court. It is not happy, and it asks the court to take charge of all issues. It accuses Psystar of the "worst kind of forum shopping".

Psystar, on the other hand, is still upset about discovery issues regarding the Schiller deposition, and it has filed a supplemental brief asking for Apple's financial info, explaining why it needs it (I gather it thinks there is zero damage to Apple, or at least none that can be proven) and it pooh poohs Apple's worries about confidentiality, saying that Psystar has not violated and will not violate the protective order.

And I ask you, if you can't trust folks like Psystar to abide by the strictest letter and spirit of the law, who *can* you trust?

There is a status conference on September 4th, to handle the discovery dispute between the parties. And Apple has requested a status conference regarding the Florida mess.
