This seemed pretty odd to me, but I'm not sure what to make of
it.  In a case where discovery matters are be so important, I'd
expect SCO to want their lead counsel to appear on their behalf. 
Perhaps SCO/Boies believed a this result was inevitable, and
decided not to spend Boies' time on the hearing?
