Opinion

PER CURIAM:

Under our liberal notice pleading today, we think it would have been more appropriate to keep the Police Commissioners in the action until at least the plaintiffs presented their factual ease. No indication is given as to what ultimate decision should be made on the merits.

*1311 As to the members of the Los Angeles City Council, we can find no basis for keeping them in the case. As to the Council members, we affirm the dismissal.

Remanded for proceedings consistent herewith.

Judge ELY would also reverse as to the members of the Council because of his belief that there is now an inadequate factual record on which to make a dis-positive decision as to the members of the Council.

Judge KILKENNY would affirm the decision as made.
