ORDER APPROVING STIPULATION
PURSUANT TO FED. R. EVID. 502(e)

Pursuant to Fed. R. Evid. 502(e), the Court approves the stipulation of the Time Warner
Cable Defendants (“TWC”) and Sprint related to Sprint’s deposition of attorney Seth Ostrow in
the Comcast (11-2684) case. The stipulation between Sprint and TWC is as follows:
1. TWC does not waive any privilege by virtue of its failure to instruct Mr. Ostrow not to
answer a question.
2. To whatever extent Sprint intends to use any information Mr. Ostrow provides against
TWC for any purpose, Sprint will first identify to TWC the information it intends to use
and the manner in which Sprint intends to use it, and will provide TWC with a reasonable
opportunity to assert privilege in order to prevent its use. If TWC asserts privilege,
Sprint will not use any Ostrow- provided information as to which privilege is asserted
against TWC for any purpose in the absence of a Court ruling that no such privilege
exists.
3. Mr. Ostrow’s deposition will be designated highly confidential, outside counsel eyes only
pursuant to the protective order.
The stipulation is approved.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated June 21, 2017, at Kansas City, Kansas.
