She was unable to find help, since it was early in the morning. She accepted a ride from a man who claimed to be an Uber driver, but who sexually assaulted her instead of driving her home, her complaint says. Her complaint brings five claims of violation of civil rights, one claim of failure to summon immediate medical care, and one claim of negligence. Steve Glickman and Nicole Hoikka of Sherman Oaks Glickman and Glickman represent Egger.

- The family of Ryan Gainer sue the county for their 15-year-old’s death by sheriff’s deputy shooting. Their complaint says that Gainer was fatally shot in their Apple Valley home following a March 9 911 call. Gainer, who was autistic, broke the glass in their front door after being told he could no longer play video games until he finished his chores. Gainer’s mother had called 911 for help. The teenager had apologized for his actions before officers arrived, and his sister made a second call to 911 advising them that the family no longer needed assistance. Sheriff Deputies Brandon Clancy and Wyatt Eisenbrey arrived after the second call. Gainer approached them with a frying pan in one hand and a garden hoe in the other. The deputies fired four shots at him, causing his death. The deputies then detained Gainer’s family. His family sues for excessive force, violation of the right to familial relationship, municipal liability, wrongful death, violation of the Tom Bane Civil Rights Act, assault, infliction of emotional distress, negligence, negligent infliction of emotional distress, denial of medical care, denial of access to public service, false imprisonment.
