MORE BREAKING NEWS: Supreme Court denies review in two other Prop. 64 cases
After granting review in the five cases listed in my post below, the Supreme Court DENIED review in two other cases:

• Mastercard Int'l, Inc. v. Superior Court, Cal. Supreme Court case no. S131416
  
  
• Duran v. Superior Court (May Dept. Stores), Cal. Supreme Court case no. S132689

They're obviously focusing in on the published opinions.

UPDATE: The Court's decision to deny review in both of these cases is quite interesting. In Mastercard, the trial court (Judge Kramer) held that Prop. 64 does NOT apply to pending cases. In Duran, the trial court went the other way. In both cases, writ petitions were summarily denied. The fact that review was denied in both cases speaks volumes about the Court's lack of preconceptions on the retroactivity question.
