IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ORACLE AMERICA, INC.,

Plaintiff,

 v.

GOOGLE INC.,

Defendant. /

No. C 10-03561 WHA

REQUEST FOR FURTHER

RESPONSE RE SOCIAL MEDIA

By 2:30 P.M. TOMORROW MARCH 9, both sides shall please respond to each other’s

submissions regarding social media investigations of jurors. Both sides shall please also

address the following issues regarding your search strategies (assuming, arguendo, that some

Internet searches about prospective jurors is allowed):

• Do references to the “general public” include individuals

who are logged in to a particular site or application although

not connected to a prospective juror? That is, a member of

the general public who does not have a Twitter account

could not view the followers or the followed list of a

prospective juror’s account, even if that juror’s profile is

public. An individual who is logged into his Twitter

account, however, could view those lists, even without

connecting to the prospective juror. Do you contemplate

conducting searches and viewing prospective jurors’ profiles

with logged in users?

• Oracle refers to “information that is available under the

user’s privacy settings.” Who is the “user” in that

circumstance?

• Oracle states that neither side should be permitted “to

review Google, Yahoo!, and/or other Internet searches.” 

Please state how you intend to discover prospective jurors’

social media profiles without reviewing “Internet searches.”

• Please state whether you intend to use dating sites or

applications in investigating prospective jurors.

• Please state whether you intend to use technical search tools

such as “reverse whois” or to review materials that a

prospective juror may not have realized could be accessed

by the public, such as source code for a website.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 8, 2016.
