Petition for Review denied in Johnson v. Glaxosmithkline, Inc.

This blog briefly reported on a new opinion in Johnson v. Glaxosmithkline, Inc. (September 19, 2008). You can read that post here. A Petition for Rehearing was filed on October 7, 2008. It was denied the day it was filed. On October 14, 2008, the Court of Appeal modified its opinion, without changing the judgment. In a later post, I guessed (not a stretch) that a Petition for Review was coming. The expected Petition was filed with the Supreme Court.  Today, the Supreme Court denied the Petition as part of its weekly conference.
