A federal judge said Monday that she will dismiss a lawsuit accusing three Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies of killing a woman unless evidence is presented supporting the allegation


within 90 days. Stephen Yagman, an attorney for the suit’s plaintiff, asked U.S. District Judge Mariana Pfaelzer for one-year period to gather evidence in the case, complaining that the Los
