WASHINGTON — In the government's antitrust case against Intel Corp., the semiconductor giant has lost its bid to pare the government's witness list, and to remove a key government litigator. James Timony, Federal Trade Commission administrative law judge, has denied Intel's motion to remove Richard Parker, senior deputy director of the FTC's Bureau of Competition, who once represented Intel rival Advanced Micro Devices Inc.
Timony also denied an Intel motion to strike two government witnesses, Dean Klein, chief technical officer for Micron Electronics Inc., and Donald Lewine, chief technology officer for Data General Corp.
Intel and FTC attorneys have until Friday, Feb.19 to exchange final exhibit and witness lists, file responses to motions for a summary decision and exchange responses to proposed stipulations of law and fact.
The antitrust hearing is scheduled to begin March 9.
