But I want to add a correction here. If I understand correctly, it didn't come to the judge through an independent case. It came to the judge because the judge referred the situation (Uber hiring Levandowski after Levandowski took documents from Waymo) to federal prosecutors. Those federal prosecutors got back to the judge with stuff that Uber should have turned over as part of discovery, but didn't. The judge is not amused.
