Narrative:

Near midair collision sbound off long beach. After a turn to a 180 degree heading as cleared off lgb and a continued climb to 7000 ft, we had a TA and subsequent RA climbing through 5000 ft at the position specified in the header of this report. The first officer was flying and also made a left turn in the climb after visually acquiring the cessna 172, with 20 degrees of bank. No further evasive action was taken as we got the clear of conflict TCASII call as we rejoined our clearance and advised ATC. There were no injuries reported in the cabin as our climbing turn wasn't unusual after takeoff. It appeared to the first officer that the cessna was in level flight and as he turned away after acquiring us that he got no closer than 100 ft vertically and 150 ft horizontally. We were 2 seconds apart initially and he passed below us during the TCASII RA. Our flight was IFR.
