This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent
except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
Before: CLIFTON, BYBEE, and SUNG, Circuit Judges.
Petitioners Uber Technologies, Inc., Rasier, LLC, and Rasier-CA, LLC
(collectively, โUberโ) seek a writ of mandamus vacating an allegedly erroneous
discovery ruling of the district court. โA writ is an extraordinary remedy[,] and
Petitioners bear the burden of showing that their right to it is clear and indisputable.โ
In re Crain Walnut Shelling, LP, 175 F.4th 1069, 1075 (9th Cir. 2026) (quotation
marks omitted) (quoting In re Mersho, 6 F.4th 891, 897 (9th Cir. 2021)). Uber has
not met that burden because it failed to demonstrate that the district courtโs decision
was clearly erroneous as a matter of law. See In re Mersho, 6 F.4th at 897 (โTo
determine whether a writ of mandamus should be granted, we weigh the five factors
outlined in Bauman v. United States District Court.โ); Bauman v. U.S. Dist. Court,
557 F.2d 650, 654โ55 (9th Cir. 1977) (listing factors); In re Van Dusen, 654 F.3d
838, 841 (9th Cir. 2011) (โThe third [Bauman] factor, clear error as a matter of law,
is a necessary condition for granting a writ of mandamus.โ).
The petition is DENIED.1

The motions for leave to file an amicus brief (Dkt. Nos. 6, 8) are granted.
