WARDLAW, Circuit Judge,
concurring in part and concurring in the result:
I am pleased to concur in the majority opinion, except that I concur only as to the result of Part III, which denies Kohl’s’ request to certify the state law standing requirements for review by the California *1110Supreme Court. Although I agree that Kohl’s’ first removing the action from state to federal court, and then seeking to have the matter on appeal certified to the state court, raises suspicion as to Kohl’s’ motivations, on this record and without providing an opportunity to Kohl’s to respond, it is somewhat unfair to conclude that Kohl’s had only a nefarious motive. I would simply deny the request as untimely.
