Trade secrets that car maker Chrysler entrusted to former U.S. attorney Stephen Wigginton for a class action at U.S. district court in East St. Louis turned into public record in California.
A lawyer seeking a subpoena for Wigginton in San Francisco filed the secrets as exhibits on April 24, and didn’t move to seal them until Chrysler did, on April 27.
As of May 2, the public could not see them.
The California court’s public information officer, Lynn Fuller, said she would try to find out how long the exhibits were public record.
The exhibits relate to an electronic system, uConnect, at the center of the action in U.S. district court at East St. Louis.
The California subpoena seeks third party documents from Cisco Systems.
On the day Chrysler moved to seal the California record, it moved for sanctions in the court at East St. Louis.
