Court of Appeals of New York.
OPINION OF THE COURT
GRAFFEO, J.
We conclude that the Appellate Division did not abuse its discretion in affirming a Supreme Court order granting class action certification under CPLR article 9 to plaintiffs, a group of developmentally disabled children and young adults who are or have been in New York City's foster care system. We therefore affirm the Appellate Division order.
