1Opinion of the Court
LYNCH, Circuit Judge.
This case involves the intersection of the ADEA statute of limitations and the special tolling rules which may apply when the plaintiffs are within a class alleged but not certified in earlier ADEA actions. The plaintiffs are eleven people, all over 40 years old, who lost their management level jobs at The Ground Round. In all, members of this group, represented by the same counsel, have filed four different actions accusing Ground Round of age discrimination. If this, the fourth action, is untimely, then the district court correctly entered summary judgment.
