PASSENGER SEXUAL ASSAULT Case No. 23-md-03084-CRB (LJC) LITIGATION REPORT OF PRIVILEGE _________________________________________/ DETERMINATIONS This Order Relates To:
ALL ACTIONS
The standards governing privilege review for this multi-district litigation have been set forth in multiple orders of Magistrate Judge Cisneros. See Dkts. 1908, 2005, 2168.
Pursuant to Master Order No. 3, Uber produced 66 documents associated with custodians Mike Akamine, Dara Khosrowshahi, Jill Hazelbaker, and Travis Kalanick for in camera review. The Master determined that 54 of the documents were privileged in whole or in part and five were not privileged. The Master also ordered Uber to provide additional information regarding seven of the documents.
Plaintiffs withdrew their challenge to one of the seven documents that required additional information and Uber produced one of the seven challenged documents to plaintiffs, rendering further determination on those documents unnecessary. Uber then provided additional information for the five remaining documents as requested by the Master. Upon consideration of Uber’s submissions and further in camera review, two of the five documents were determined to be privileged, and three documents were ordered to be produced with redactions.
Case 3:23-md-03084-CRB Document 3238 Filed 06/12/25 Page 2 of 2 Plaintiffs then objected to two of the Master’s determinations that were made after the additional information was provided by Uber. Upon consideration of both parties’ submissions and further in camera review of the challenged documents, plaintiffs’ objections were denied.
Accordingly, the Master has determined that 59 documents associated with custodians Mike Akamine, Dara Khosrowshahi, Jill Hazelbaker, and Travis Kalanick are privileged in whole or in part and five are not privileged. [1]
