ORDER REGARDING PRODUCTION
OF LEVANDOWSKI STROZ
AGREEMENTS
Re: Dkt. Nos. 546, 577

15
16

Waymo moves to compel production of Anthony Levandowski’s March 14, 2016 and

17

March 21, 2016 letter agreements with Uber’s third party forensic expert Stroz Friedman. (Dkt.

18

No. 546). The Court reviewed the agreements in camera in connection with Waymo’s motion to

19

compel production of the Stroz Report. After Waymo filed Docket No. 546, the Court ordered

20

Uber to produce the Stroz Report, including the Levandowski agreements. (Dkt. Nos. 549.)

21

Uber’s objections to that Order are currently pending with the district court.

22

For the reasons stated in its Order granting the motion to compel, the Court GRANTS

23

Waymo’s motion to compel Uber to produce the Levandowski agreements with Stroz. It should

24

be noted, however, that whereas on the motion to compel the Stroz Report Uber asserted that the

25

agreements are protected by attorney-client privilege and attorney work-product privilege, Uber

26

has now abandoned its attorney-client privilege objection to production of the agreements. (Dkt.

27

No. 577 (“Uber continues to assert attorney-work product protections over the two letter

28

agreements attached as exhibits to the Due Diligence Report.”).)

This Order disposes of Docket Nos. 546 and 577.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
