"Gov. Rick Snyder and several other defendants have been dismissed from a class- action lawsuit against the state related to Flint's lead-contaminated water crisis, U.S. District Judge Judith E. Levy ruled Wednesday.

The lawsuit includes 13 claims brought by 12 people and three businesses against 27 defendants.

In her decision Wednesday, Levy dismissed at least six defendants from the case, including Snyder, the State of Michigan, former Michigan Department of Environmental Quality Director Dan Wyant, Flint Emergency Manager Ed Kurtz, Flint Mayor Dayne Walling and former Michigan Department of Health and Human Services official Nancy Peeler."
