Although the fairness hearing scheduled for today in the Google Book
Settlement was canceled, Judge Denny Chin used the time to conduct a status
update on the parties’ progress in their renegotiation of some of the
settlement provisions. The renegotiations will address some of the concerns
raised by the Department of Justice in their filing to the Court a few weeks
ago. Chin set November 9th as the new date for submission of the amended
settlement, with a new fairness hearing tentatively scheduled for late
December or early Janurary. For more updates, see coverage from James
Grimmelmann<http://laboratorium.net/archive/2009/10/07/gbs_status_conference_status>and
