| A suburban Buffalo man has pleaded guilty to charges stemming from the shooting death of a co-worker who was involved in a lovers' triangle via the Internet. Forty-eighty-year-old Thomas Montgomery of Cheektowaga pleaded guilty today to first-degree manslaughter in the killing of 22-year-old Brian Barrett of Lockport. Barrett's body was found in his vehicle in the parking lot of the suburban Clarence company where both men worked. Montgomery admitted to shooting Barrett three times last September. He and Barrett had been involved in an Internet relationship with a middle-aged West Virginia woman who was using her daughter's Web page information to pose as an 18-year-old. Montgomery -- who was charged with murder in late November -- faces sentencing at the end of October. |

Class action or a representative action is a form of lawsuit in which a large group of people collectively bring a claim to court and/or in which a class of defendants is being sued. This form of collective lawsuit originated in the United States and is still predominantly a U.S. phenomenon, at least the U.S. variant of it. In the United States federal courts, class actions are governed by Federal Rules of Civil Procedure Rule. Since 1938, many states have adopted rules similar to the FRCP. However, some states like California have civil procedure systems which deviate significantly from the federal rules; the California Codes provide for four separate types of class actions. As a result, there are two separate treatises devoted solely to the complex topic of California class actions. Some states, such as Virginia, do not provide for any class actions, while others, such as New York, limit the types of claims that may be brought as class actions.
