A federal judge ruled that Nick Sandmann’s case against NBCUniversal can proceed, denying the company’s attempt to dismiss the lawsuit.

U.S. District Court Judge William Bertelsman dismissed parts of the suit but allowed the case to proceed on limited grounds, similar to how he let Sandmann’s cases against the Washington Post and CNN proceed.
