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.
