ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE RE
SAMEER KSHIRSAGAR

UBER TECHNOLOGIES, INC., et al.,

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

16

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

17

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

18

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

19

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

20

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

21

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

22

TOMORROW AT NOON

why such disclosure should not be allowed. Waymo should remember

23

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

24

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

26

IT IS SO ORDERED.
