A New Jersey court appearance for "Howard Stern Show" radio personality Artie Lange (LANG) on a charge of driving under the influence of an intoxicant has been rescheduled for next month.
The comedian and author of the best-selling book "Too Fat to Fish" originally was scheduled to appear in court Wednesday for a pretrial conference. That date is changed to Sept. 9. Lange was charged following a minor traffic accident last month in Toms River, about 50 miles south-southwest of New York City. Police say Lange's vehicle struck the back of another vehicle. They say no one was injured. Defense lawyer Michael Grasso entered a not guilty plea for Lange on July 14. He says the 41-year-old Lange passed an alcohol screening test after the accident. |

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.
