BY THE COURT:

This case is before the court on a very limited certificate issued by the district court under Rule 54(b) (Fed.R.Civ.P.). The only claim involved is the "plaintiffs' claims for relief in the nature of habilitation in the least restrictive environment in accordance with the recommendation of professional treatment staff." The district court denied the claim. We affirm that part of the district court opinion.

This ruling is not to be interpreted...
