Narrative:
While on downwind to runway 30 at lvn at 1800 ft MSL; an unannounced aircraft flew 100 ft over the top of us in the opposite direction. When queried over the radio as to what the aircraft was doing; he said he was setting up to enter a downwind for 30. I suggested that he enter the pattern from further out at a 45 degree angle; rather than on top of downwind.
