November 28, 2007 Filing 38 ENDORSED LETTER addressed to Judge Colleen McMahon from Hyman L. Schaffer dated 11/27/2007 re: The purpose of this letter is to show that Defendants' purported notices are legally insufficient and that, even if the notices were adequate, there would be no connection between them and the discovery Defendants seek... ENDORSEMENT: NO MORE LETTERS! I will not read them...That issue is for trial I ruled last night.. (Signed by Judge Colleen McMahon on 11/28/2007) "The Clerk's Office Has Mailed Copies".(mde)
November 28, 2007 Filing 37 ENDORSED LETTER addressed to Judge Colleen McMAhon from James D. Jacobs dated 11/27/2007 re: We write on behalf of defendants Software AG andSoftware AG, Inc.. to comply with Your Honor's Nov. 26, 2007 "Response to Correspondence".... ENDORSEMENT: The financial information sought has no relevance whatsoever to the contract interpretation issue. To the extent you have declared Consist to be in default, you (or your client) of course already have the necessary evidence-otherwise, your default notice was sent in bad faith, application denied... (Signed by Judge Colleen McMahon on 11/27/2007) "The Clerk's Office Has Mailed Copies".(mde)
November 26, 2007 Filing 36 RESPONSE TO CORRESPONDENCE: As I am presently on trial, I must respond to the most recent correspondence in writing. The issue to be tried next month is whether Consist will continue as a distributor for Software AG products after January 1, 2008, or whether Software AG has succeeded in terminating the parties contractual relationship. Software AG has argued that, even if I agree with Consists interpretation of Sections 1 and 7 of the Agreement (the nonrenewal interpretation), Consist has committed material breaches of contract, such that the Agreement can be terminated under New York law. I thus disagree with Consists repeated insistence that the only issue to be tried is the contract interpretation question; the question of whether the contract has been terminated is broader than the issue of non-renewal. By 2 PM tomorrow, Software AG must identify, in writing, any and every instance of material breach that (in its view) justifies termination of the contract. Software AG must also identify, and provide the court with a copy of, any document that allegedly constitutes notice of the breach, thereby triggering the contractual day cure period. Absent that information, there is no way that I can rule on the parties rather uninformative and incomprehensible arguments about the relevance of financial statements. If Software AG thinks it has provided this information previously, I am constrained to disagree. I have been repeatedly sent long letters identifying particular breaches as Among the breaches claimed by Software AG, but I have never been given a comprehensive list of what those breaches are. I want a final and binding list of the alleged breaches and I want it now. (Signed by Judge Colleen McMahon on 11/26/2007) "The Clerk's Office Has Mailed Copies".(mde)
November 13, 2007 Opinion or Order Filing 35 ENDORSED LETTER addressed to Judge Colleen McMahon from James Jacobs dated 11/7/07 re: Request for a Rule 26(c) protective order from the defective subpoena and untimely depositon notice served by plaintiff Karl-Heinz Steibich. ENDORSEMENT: I have just returned from being away for 5 days. I assume the deposition went forward. I deny the protective order applicaiton. (Signed by Judge Colleen McMahon on 11/13/07) (cd)
October 31, 2007 Filing 34 STIPULATION REGARDING CONDUCT OF DECEMBER 12/07 BENCH TRIAL that Consist and SAG each waives its right to a trial by jury of any claims triable by jury in this action and each agrees that all issues shall be tried by the Court without a jury. Consist dismisses with prejudice Counts I, III, IV, V, VIII, IX, X, XI, and XII of its Complaint, and as further set forth in this document. (Signed by Judge Colleen McMahon on 10/31/07) (cd)
October 24, 2007 Opinion or Order Filing 33 MEMORANDUM ORDER: After reading the briefs submitted by the parties pursuant to my order of October 19, I rule as follows:(1) Plaintiff cannot rely on any presumption that the loss of an exclusive distributorship will work an irreparable injury. Plaintiff is clearly reading far too much into the decisions cited in its memorandum in support of the motion for a preliminary injunction. I will discuss but one example, since it is a case with which I am intimately familiar: Subaru Distributors Corp. v. Subaru of America, Inc., 47 F. Supp. 2d 451 (S.D.N.Y. 1999). In case it is not apparent from the name of the party plaintiff, the plaintiff who moved for a preliminary injunction in that case had but one business it was the exclusive distributor of Subarus to dealers in New York and New Jersey. Being cut off by Subaru of America would have obliterated its business. That plaintiff would be irreparably harmed by the loss of its exclusive distributorship was obvious so much so that the defendant did not bother to contest the point. Even so, plaintiff did not obtain injunctive relief, because termination was not imminent. Plaintiff must prove irreparable injury. I understand from plaintiffs memorandum that business related to the agreement with Software AG constitutes 90% of Consists business in the Territory (seven South American countries) where it holds the distributorship. I have no idea whether all or substantially all of Consists business is in South America; if it is not, I have no idea how much of Consists business will be affected by the termination, assuming that termination was properly effected. It may be that very little of Consists overall business will suffer in which case, the injury cannot be deemed irreparable. Since plaintiff must PROVE irreparable injury in order to obtain injunctive relief, defendant has the right to take discovery on the issue. Consist contends that money damages cannot fully compensate it for the harm it will suffer through the loss of its business, because its self-branded technology is dependent on the use of defendants software. Defendant is entitled to probe that assertion. (2) As for the current discovery dispute, I conclude that the source code is relevant to Software AGs defense that Consist will not suffer irreparable injury and is not privileged. Production is reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. It must, therefore, be produced. The court will require a stringent protective order as a condition of production. (3) Defendants end their brief with a request that Consist be held to its prior position and not be permitted to prove irreparable injury. That request is denied. In the alternative, defendants contend that they cannot be ready for the hearing on December 12. I reject that contention as well. I will not change the hearing date for any reason. This constitutes the decision and order of the court. (Signed by Judge Colleen McMahon on 10/24/2007) "Copies Sent By Chambers".(mde)

October 19, 2007 Opinion or Order Filing 31 CONFIDENTIALITY ORDER AND STIPULATION...regarding procedures to be followed that shall govern the handling of confidential material....ENDORSEMENT: I will not consent to this-I refuse to seal papers filed in support of a motion for summary judgment on trial exhibits and I will not seal any opinions.

October 5, 2007 Opinion or Order Filing 22 MEMORANDUM ORDER DENYING REQUEST FOR RECONSIDERATION AND RESPONDING TO SUGGESTION THAT DISCOVERY CANNOT BE COMPLETED IN TIME FOR A DECEMBER 12 TRIAL ON THE MERITS: I have received a motion for reconsideration of my September 26, 2007 scheduling order from counsel for defendants. The motion is denied. Defendants have misread my September 26 order. I do in fact find that paragraph 7 is ambiguous. In fact given paragraph 1, paragraph 7 makes very little sense at all, without regard to any parol evidence. The parol evidence. The parol evidence that I have thus far seen does not create the ambiguity; however, it may well explain the ambiguity. Discovery has to be expedited because a decision must be rendered before January 1, 2008. It matters not whether that decision is preliminary or permanent: It must be rendered on an expedited basis, and so the parties must take their discovery in an expedited manner. They should get to it. So Ordered.. (Signed by Judge Colleen McMahon on 10/4/07) (js)
