The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit rejected Microsoft's request that it reconsider its June decision that the software giant illegally integrated its Internet browser with its Windows operating system. The court, in the tersely worded brief, also denied a request by the Justice Department and 18 states to forgo the normal waiting period before returning the case to a lower court. The government sought to avoid a mandated 52-day waiting period, dated from the appeals court's June 28 decision, before returning the case to the District Court.
