Today, the Supreme Court granted our petition for review in Hartford Fire Ins. Co. v. Superior Court, case no. S140272. Briefing is deferred pending the outcome of Mervyn's and Branick. Accordingly, the Court of Appeal's opinion, previously published at 134 Cal.App.4th 649 (2005), is no longer citable. The Supreme Court is sticking to its pattern of granting review in all Prop. 64 cases in which the Court of Appeal published its opinion. As of today, the only citable, published opinion on Prop. 64 retroactivity is Huntingdon Life Sciences, Inc. v. Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty USA, Inc., 129 Cal.App.4th 1228 (2005). For whatever reason, no review petition or depublication request was filed in that case.
