Microsoft filing deadline extended again

C|Net | at | by Mike

For the second time in a week, Microsoft and the government received an extension in an important court filing. U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly has reset the deadline for a joint status report originally due Sept. 14. That deadline has now been extended until Thursday, and a hearing originally scheduled for Friday will take place on Sept. 28. Both Microsoft and the Justice Department are apparently grappling with the effects of last week's devastating attacks in Washington and in New York.
