Microsoft: Govt. seeks review

WASHINGTON, JUNE 14. As Microsoft and the Government accused each other of game playing, both sides took action in different courts on the company's appeal of last week's ruling that the software giant should be dismantled for abusing its monopoly power.

The U.S. Justice Department yesterday asked a judge to certify the case for an ``immediate'' Supreme Court review that would by pass the court of appeals.

The Government's move came as Microsoft asked a U.S. appellate court yesterday to hear its appeal of last week's anti- trust judgment against it and delay enforcement of the ruling.

Microsoft's petition asks the appellate panel to stay, or postpone the enforcement of the judge, Mr. Thomas Penfield Jackson's landmark ruling pending a resolution of the appeal process.
