Opinion
PERLUSS, P. J.
Plaintiffs, proposed class representatives, appeal from the trial court’s order sustaining a demurrer without leave to amend to the class action allegations in their complaint against their homeowners’ insurance carriers regarding claims for policy benefits for damages incurred by the Northridge earthquake. The trial court found there was no reasonable possibility plaintiffs could satisfy the community of interest requirement for class certification and class treatment was not the superior method for resolving the litigation. We agree and affirm.
