Narrative:

On descent to lax we received a TCASII RA and a verbal command to climb. Sighted the traffic (the one we believed to be causing the RA) and climbed approximately 800 ft. The RA ceased, I called approach control and advised them that we climbed, and then we descended back to 10000 ft (our assigned altitude).
