Billionaire investor Carl Icahn failed to persuade a Delaware judge bid to speed up proceedings in a lawsuit against computer maker Dell Inc.
Delaware Chancery Court Judge Leo Strine Jr. yesterday denied the request by Icahn, who is trying to thwart a buyout by founder Michael Dell, at a hearing in Wilmington. Dell shareholders of record Aug. 13 are scheduled to vote on the $24.9 billion buyout at a special meeting Sept. 12 and to choose directors at an annual meeting Oct. 17.
