Summary

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Joseph Seidlin, Judge.  AFFIRMED.  Considered by Tabor, C.J., and Greer and Schumacher, JJ.  Opinion by Tabor, C.J.  (10 pages)

            Justin Wagoner appeals the denial of his request for class certification against his former employer.  And the employer, Shamrock Hills, appeals the court’s assumption in its ruling that a class action can be asserted as a counterclaim.  OPINION HOLDS: The district court did not abuse its discretion when it denied the class certification.  And we also reach that conclusion by assuming and not deciding that a class action can be asserted as a counterclaim.  Thus, we affirm the district court order.
