A federal judge is scheduled to hold a case management conference Tuesday in a long-running civil rights lawsuit that led to federal oversight of the Oakland Police Department after the so-called “Oakland Riders” scandal.
The Delphine Allen et al. v. City of Oakland hearing will be held at 3:30 p.m. in person before U.S. District Judge William Orrick at the federal courthouse at 450 Golden Gate Ave. in San Francisco.
The case involves a federal court-ordered agreement requiring reforms within the Police Department, which has been under federal oversight for 23 years because of the “Oakland Riders” scandal, in which police officers reportedly falsified police reports, planted evidence, beat suspects and abused people’s civil rights.
