IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

WAYMO LLC,

Plaintiff,

 v.

UBER TECHNOLOGIES, INC., et al.,

Defendants. /

No. C 17-00939 WHA

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE RE

SAMEER KSHIRSAGAR

Tentatively, the Court believes counsel for defendants should be allowed to show

Sameer Kshirsagar any files he either drafted or allegedly downloaded from plaintiff Waymo

LLC, so long as Kshirsagar is not given copies of such files to keep and agrees not to use the

contents thereof for any purpose other than the preparation of the defense in this case. This

would apply only to circumstances where defense counsel genuinely believes that showing

confidential material to Kshirsagar is essential to prepare the defense. If it is really true that

Waymo has objected to the foregoing disclosure, then Waymo must SHOW CAUSE BY

TOMORROW AT NOON why such disclosure should not be allowed. Waymo should remember

that defendants deserve to present their defense, and if either side frustrates the other’s ability to

prepare, the Court may have to adjust the case schedule.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 23, 2017.
