Y’all Politics broke the story on Hinds County Chancery Court Judge Denise Owens denying State Auditor Stacey Pickering’s motion for disbursement of settlement funds in the Mississippi v. Microsoft case and approving the disbursement of $10 million in attorney’s fees in the case. Here is the Order and the Clarion-Ledger’s article.

Earlier posts on Hood v. Pickering disputes are here and here.

Pickering’s office announced plans to appeal the ruling in the Worldcom. MCI case, but not Judge Owens’ ruling in the Microsoft case.

It’s politics as usual–on both sides.
