P1259 REVIEW DENIED A putative class action brought on behalf of developmentally disabled persons and seeking injunctions and declaratory relief to compel certain state agencies to do a better job of enforcing provisions of the Lanterman Act seeks proper enforcement of the law, and since no one has a legitimate interest in opposing proper enforcement of the law the interests of class representatives are not adverse to those of class members who are satisfied with the way the law is currently being enforced; since the merits of the action are not relevant to class certification, a court deciding whether to certify the class should not consider objections of interveners claiming that the law is being properly enforced.CitationCAPITOL PEOPLE v STATE (Lanterman Enforcement) 155 CA4 676 [See: CCP 382; W&IC 4710.5, 4706; Lockheed Martin v Superior Court 29 C4 1096, T/AT 4/03; Sav-On v Superior Court 34 C4 319, P/AT 11/04]
