FRANCISCO, et al.,
Defendants.
15 I. INTRODUCTION Plaintiff Caroline Dyer was arrested during the May 2020 mass demonstrations in San Francisco protesting the killing of George Floyd. She alleges her arrest was carried out with excessive force, in violation of 42 U.S.C. § 1983. She also asserts various claims under state law.1 Defendants now seek summary judgment in their favor. Dyer, in turn, moves to add as a defendant Officer Kristopher Stoffel, who was involved in her arrest but who was not originally named. The motion for leave to amend will be granted.
