Transfer orders issued in Tobacco "grant and hold" cases: Pfizer and McAdams

Today, the Supreme Court issued transfer orders in the two Tobacco "grant and hold" cases, Pfizer, Inc. v. Superior Court (Galfano), no. S145775, and McAdams v. Monier, no. S154088.  McAdams has been transferred back to the Third Appellate District, and Pfizer is now returned to the Second District, Division Three.  Both appellate courts have been directed to vacate their opinions and reconsider in light of Tobacco.   

The parties now have a very short period of time to file supplemental briefs under Rule of Court 8.200(b)(1). 

UPDATE:  There is a third Tobacco "grant and hold" case, O'Brien v. Camisasca Automotive Mfg., no. S163207, in which no transfer order has yet been posted.
