No. C 17-00939 WHA

Plaintiff,
v.
SCHEDULING ORDER
UBER TECHNOLOGIES, INC., et al.,
Defendants.
/
The hearing on plaintiff Waymo LLC’s motion for a preliminary injunction is

16

rescheduled from May 4 to MAY 3. On that date, the hearing on the motion will be split up into

17

two separate proceedings. First, at 7:30 A.M., we will have a hearing closed to the public,

18

during which the parties will have an opportunity to address anything deserving to be under

19

seal. Counsel should limit their arguments to items that should truly be under seal and not veer

20

off into topics merely related to items under seal. Counsel should also provide shorthand names

21

for each alleged trade secret discussed in argument so that they can later be referenced to by the

22

short name. Second, at 9:00 A.M., we will have a public hearing to address the rest of the

23

motion. At this later proceeding, counsel may use the previously established shorthand to refer

24

to trade secrets without revealing the contents thereof.

25

As stated earlier, the Court remains concerned that too much information in this case is

26

being hidden from the public under claims of confidentiality. Please make sure that the bare

27

minimum remains redacted (so that delays to comb out unnecessary redactions can be avoided).

28

1

The public has a legitimate interest in looking over our shoulders to see the work in our courts,

2

which belong to the public, not to litigants.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
