California Supreme Court Schedules Oral Argument in Brinker

The California Supreme Court just announced that it will hear oral argument in Brinker v. Superior Court (Hohnbaum) on Tuesday, November 8, 2011 at 9:00 a.m. in San Francisco. So we will have a decision by Valentine's Day. That's about 3 1/2 years after the petition for review was filed. Still well short of the 5 years that they spent on Martinez v. Combs.
