case. specifically a ruling by a lower court when it comes to use of excessive force by that sheriff's deputy. let's go ahead and back up and give viewers a time line of all that's taken place in the last years. it happened back in october of 2013. you had sheriff's deputy shooting and killing lopez in 2013 as he was walking in an unincorporated part of santa rosa carrying a pellet gun the sheriff's deputy thought looked like an ak-47. at the time they decided not to file charges against the deputy. but the family filed civil rights lawsuit against the county and deputy claiming he violated what they said was a constitutional ban on unreasonable search and seizure by using excessive force. he said at the time he believed the weapon was an assault rifle and lopez was raising it towards him and his partner saying he was legally shielded from being sued because his use of force

was reasonable under these circumstances. the federal trial judge in oakland and ninth circuit appeals in san francisco disagreed saying he was not legally protect freddie that claim and that's why the county is appealing that decision to the u.s. supreme court. if a review is granted, it can take several months to review the case. the supreme court reviews only about 1% of cases petitioned each year. we're live in santa rosa, pete suratos, "today in the bay." >> pete, thank you so much for that update. san francisco is making history again. london breed continues her victory celebration at her alma mater rosa parks elementary. she's the first black woman to be elected in san francisco. breed made it official yesterday. >> whether you voted for me or not, as mayor i will be your mayor, too. >> breed speaking to supporters on the steps of city hall after claiming victory after former state senator mark leno conceded. there are still votes to be counted but he said the math is not in his favor.
