| Rip Torn's lawyer says the "Men in Black" actor plans to enter pleas to burglary and firearms charges during a court hearing in Connecticut. Torn is scheduled to appear in Litchfield Superior Court on Tuesday morning. State police say the 79-year-old actor was so intoxicated on the night of Jan. 29 that he broke into a bank with a loaded gun thinking it was his home in Salisbury in northwestern Connecticut. Torn went into an alcohol rehabilitation program after his arrest. Torn had received probation last year as part of a Connecticut DUI case and also had alcohol-related arrests in New York in the past. |

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.
