At the request of the Court of Appeal, review is granted on this court’s own motion. The cause is transferred to the Court of Appeal, Fourth Appellate District, Division One, with directions to vacate its opinion and reconsider the matter as it sees fit. The petition for review is denied as moot. The requests for publication are denied as moot. Votes: George, C.J., Kennard, Baxter, Werdegar, Chin, Moreno and Corrigan, JJ
Interesting. I was hoping for a meatier opinion. Maybe that’s what we’ll get.
UPDATE: This is also interesting. The Court of Appeal asked the Supreme Court to deny all of the requests for publication, but look who one of the parties requesting publication was:
| 10/30/2007 | Filed request to publish opinion. | Department of Industrial Relations |
That wouldn’t have anything to do with Miles Locker’s involvement as amicus curiae for the other side, would it? I’ll try and find out more.
