Yet another pro-plaintiff Prop. 64 order: Munoz v. Petrini Van & Storage, Inc.
Here is another order on the Prop. 64 retroactivity issue:

• Munoz v. Petrini Van & Storage, Inc., Sacramento County Superior Court case no. 04AS01213, Judge Loren McMaster (order dated 01/05/05)

This one is also quite detailed, and holds that Prop. 64 may not be applied to pending cases. Like the Goodwin order, this order also invites immediate appellate review under Code of Civil Procedure section 166.1. (I searched for a writ petition in the Goodwin case, and couldn't find one, although it's been a month since that order was issued.)

In addition, I'm told that the court rejected (without analysis) a Prop. 64 retroactivity argument in:

• Austria v. Platinum Motor Group, Inc., San Mateo County Superior Court case no. CIV 442394, Judge Robert D. Foiles (tentative ruling of 01/10/05)

UPDATE:The San Mateo County Superior Court keeps its tentative rulings available online for only about a week, so I've archived the Austria tentative ruling here.
