VanderZanden finished case in a California

state court in which Lyft denounced VanderZanden

of breaking his privacy vows when he

went to work for Uber.

Uber likewise pulled back a subpoena on Monday in

separate case over an information break at Uber,

which had focused on a Web address

relegated to Lyft's main innovation officer

( CTO), as indicated by a court documenting.

A year ago Reuters reported that the U.S .

Division of Equity was seeking after a criminal

examination of a May 2014 information rupture at

Uber, including an examination of whether any

representatives at contender Lyft were included.

representative was included in the break. It is

VanderZanden on Monday yet declined to

reveal the terms. A Uber delegate

office until August 2014, when he communicated

which was dispatched from an alternate Web

address.

booked to start in August.
