`
`I, Bethany R. Salpietra, declare as follows:
`1.
`I am over the age of 21 and am fully competent to make this declaration. I have
`personal knowledge of all facts recited herein and state that such facts are true and correct to my
`knowledge or information and belief, and, if called upon to do so, I would testify competently about
`them.
`
`Portion(s) to Seal
`
`Reason(s) for Sealing
`
`I am duly admitted to practice law in the State of Texas and before this Court. I am
`2.
`counsel at the law firm of Baker Botts L.L.P., 2001 Ross Ave., Ste. 900, Dallas, TX 75201, and I
`represent Lyft, Inc. (“Lyft”) in the above-captioned action.
`3.
`I have reviewed and complied with the Court’s Standing Order Re Civil Cases (dated
`February 18, 2021).
`4.
`I have reviewed and complied with the Northern District of California’s Civil L.R.
`79-5 and 7-11 (dated November 1, 2021).
`5.
`I submit this declaration in support of Defendant Lyft, Inc.’s Administrative Motion
`to Seal for the following documents:
`ECF or
`Document
`Exh. No.
`ECF 107 Plaintiff Lyft, Inc.’s
`Reply in Support of Its
`Motion for Leave to
`File First Amended
`Complaint
`
`Highlighted Portions at:
` Page 5: lines 11
`
`The highlighted text at Page
`5, line 11 discloses Lyft’s
`sensitive, non, public, and
`confidential, business
`information filed under seal
`in the EDTX Action. This
`highlighted text is an estimate
`of the total amount of fees
`and costs sought by Lyft in
`the EDTX Action, of which
`the fee portion is highly
`confidential and, absent
`sealing, can be deduced due
`to the cost portion being
`publicly available. See
`EDTX Action, ECF Nos. 373
`& 375. Disclosure of this
`information could cause
`competitive harm to Lyft by
`providing an incomplete and
`misleading picture of the
`nature and magnitude of legal

`
`fees expended for the EDTX
`Action in view of the fact that
`Lyft is seeking only a limited
`amount of its overall fees.
`See Adtrader, Inc. v. Google
`LLC, No. 17-cv-07082-BLF,
`2020 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 71651
`(N.D. Cal. Mar. 24, 2020)
`(finding good cause to seal
`financial figures related to a
`motion for attorneys’ fees).
`
`For the reasons set forth above, Lyft respectfully submits that good cause exists for
`6.
`Lyft’s Motion, and Lyft respectfully requests the court grant its Motion.
`7.
`Executed on this 19th day of April, 2022 at Dallas, Texas, County of Dallas. I declare
`under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of America that the foregoing is true
`and correct to the best of my knowledge.
