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

                      Argued and Submitted May 10, 2012
                             Pasadena, California

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

                                        2
       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.

                                            3
