NJ judge: 'Jersey Shore' lawsuit to proceed

TOMS RIVER, N.J. The lawsuit seeks unspecified monetary damages on behalf of three people involved in drunken fights with cast member /*Ronnie Magro*/.

Last Friday, Superior Court Judge Joseph Foster denied a motion to dismiss the claim that the defendants' conduct violated a racketeering statute in New Jersey.

The /*lawsuit*/ was filed in March by attorney Eugene LaVergne.
