| Authorities in North Carolina say a Marine charged in the death of his wife, an Army nurse, will appear in court along with a fellow serviceman. The hearing is scheduled for 2 p.m. Tuesday in Fayetteville, near Fort Bragg. Marine Cpl. John Wimunc was charged Monday with murder — as well as first-degree arson and conspiracy to commit arson — in the death of 2nd Lt. Holley Wimunc of Iowa. Her body was found Sunday, three days after a suspicious fire at her Fayetteville apartment. Authorities also charged Lance Cpl. Kyle Alden with first-degree arson, conspiracy to commit arson and accessory after the fact to first-degree murder. Both Marines were assigned to Camp Lejeune. |

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.
