This week’s conference results report does not list any straight grants of review.
There was just one criminal case grant-and-hold, pending the outcome of People v. Munoz (see here and here).
The court also issued two grant-and-transfer orders. In Berkshire Hathaway Homestate Insurance Company v. W.C.A.B., the court granted review in a workers’ compensation case and sent the case back to the Second Appellate District, Division One, which had summarily denied a writ petition for lack of a final order. The Supreme Court directed the Court of Appeal to reconsider whether the petition challenges a final order.
In In re Reyes, the court granted review and transferred the case back to the Fourth Appellate District, Division Three, which had summarily denied a petition for writ of habeas corpus. The Supreme Court directed the Secretary of the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to show cause why petitioner is not entitled to resentencing under Penal Code section 1172.75.
