Yesterday, the Court of Appeal (Second Appellate District, Division Seven) denied rehearing and amended its opinion in Johnson v. GlaxoSmithKline, Inc., ___ Cal.App.4th ___ (Sept. 19, 2008; mod. Oct. 14, 2008). The modification order adds two footnotes to the opinion and effects "no change in the judgment." The rehearing petition may have been a precursor to a review petition, which would be due on or about October 29. My original post on the Johnson opinion is here.
