> Thank you for your recent rejection of the class action settlement in the silicon valley hiring
collusion case.
> It was the right thing to do.
> I actually would like to see this get to trial, and I'm both an employee of Google and a
shareholder.
> We need the real story out. It was wrong and shouldn't happen again.
> Real choices and opportunities were taken away from these employees due to lack of recruiting
among the companies.

Hon. Lucy Koh,
I hope all is well.

I noted with great interest and approval your settlement rejection decision. I have complimented other judges
who rejected settlements.
Earlier this year, I spoke to a small group at a law school and one of the points was that, as part of any
settlement, the implicated executives should have to take a “time out” from managerial responsibilities. Of
course, if in this case that meant Steve Jobs, that would have been bad for America.
My view is the rich settle for money while the poor go to jail.
Regards,
John
