Supreme Court denies review and depublication in class certification case: Bell v. Superior Court (H.F. Cox, Inc.)

On Wednesday, the Supreme Court denied review and depublication in Bell v. Superior Court (H.F. Cox, Inc.), no. S160423. The case apparently made the Court's reputed "A" list. Justices Kennard and Moreno were of the opinion that review should be granted, and Chief Justice George was absent and did not participate. My post on the Court of Appeal's opinion, Bell v. Superior Court (H.F. Cox, Inc.), 158 Cal.App.4th 147 (2007), is available at this link.

UPDATE: On Friday, April 25, 2008, the Supreme Court issued an amended order granting the depublication request. Therefore, the Court of Appeal's opinion may no longer be cited as precedent.
