Portions of the lawsuit by passengers in LaVoy Finicum's truck in Portland, Oregon federal court

A lawsuit has been filed by Shawna Cox in Portland US District Court over the conduct of law enforcement against the four Plantiff passengers in LaVoy Finicum's truck on Jan. 26, 2016.

Cox, Ryan Payne, Ryan Bundy and Victoria Sharp were riding in Finicum's truck when it was first stopped and came under fire along US Route 395 in Harney County, Oregon.  At the first stop, Payne exited and was arrested.  LaVoy then gunned the truck to get away from the gunfire

More shots were fired as he avoided the roadblock down the road and jumped out of the truck to draw fire away from Shawna Cox and Victoria Sharp riding in the back.  Shortly afterwards an Oregon State Police sniper or snipers (names still kept secret) shot and killed LaVoy Fincium.

The lawsuit wants a "common law jury" meaning that the plantiffs are seeking a Seventh Amendment trial requesting that jurors determine compensatory, punitive and exemplary damages, not a judge.

Cited as defendants in the case are the indicted FBI agent who fired at LaVoy's truck (W, Joseph Astarita), an FBI informant (Mark McConnell) , Harney County Sheriff Dave Ward, two Harney County Sheriff's Department members who transported those taken captive on Jan. 26, 2016 and others, some unnamed because their names remain a secret.

Ryan Payne, cleared after the Bunkerville charges against him were dismissed, was convicted in the second rigged Oregon Standoff trial.

He had to go back to Portland and to jail to await sentencing February 27th,

His detention hearing is set for 9am Portland time today.  It was rescheduled from 230pm and just to repeat Ryan Payne's detention hearing is set for 9am today in Portland.

Federal prosecutors don't want Payne released citing "His history of involvement with groups that opposed the authority of the federal government" among other things.
