Case No. 22CV395570 (Santa Clara Superior Court, March 14, 2022).
This case was filed on behalf of two individual SCU students, Harlow Glenn and Lyle Kosinski, and a nonprofit representing other SCU students after SCU instituted a Covid-19 vaccine “booster” mandate, granting religious exemptions to faculty and staff but not students. Individual student plaintiff Harlow Glenn was significantly damaged after being coerced by SCU into taking the first dose, but continued to be harassed by SCU’s medical doctor to take the second and third doses regardless of her injuries. Judge Christopher Rudy, a graduate of the defendant SCU’s school of law, sided with his alma mater and dismissed the case, finding the plaintiffs’ lacked standing to sue. Plaintiffs appealed, but Rudy’s decision was affirmed by the Court of Appeal.
