UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT

May 24, 2012

Judgment

CaseIQ

NOT FOR PUBLICATION
MEMORANDUM

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.

Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of California Cathy Ann Bencivengo, Magistrate Judge, Presiding
Pasadena, California

Before: PREGERSON, GRABER, and BERZON, Circuit Judges.

Objectors Sonia Newman, Omar Rivero, and Sam P. Cannata appeal the district court's class certification in this class action brought by lead Plaintiff Shawndee Hartless against Defendant Clorox Company. The district court did not abuse its discretion in certifying the settlement class. See Parra v. Bashas', Inc., 536 F.3d 975, 977-78 (9th Cir. 2008) (stating the standard of review). On this record, the court was not required to divide the nationwide class into sub-classes, as the Objectors wish.

AFFIRMED.
