A federal judge denied the Coca-Cola Co.'s efforts to short-circuit a class action race discrimination case. U.S. District Judge Richard W. Story said he could not dismiss the class action charges at this point in the three-month-old case because, for the purposes of Coke's motion, he had to assume the plaintiffs' allegations are true. Thus, Story ruled at the end of a 90-minute hearing, it would be unfair to dismiss the class allegations until preliminary discovery is completed.
