A wide-ranging federal lawsuit against San Jose over severe protester injuries and violent police actions at last year’s George Floyd demonstrations is moving ahead after a judge largely rejected the city’s attempt to get the case dismissed early.

An order last week by Judge Phyllis Hamilton means that the suing attorneys — the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights of San Francisco Bay Area and experienced police-misconduct litigators Rachel Lederman, Jim Chanin, and Michael Flynn — are a step closer in securing class-action status for the suit, which would significantly expand the plaintiff group beyond the current 14 named clients.
