Within the past seven days, the Ninth Circuit has issued two orders asking the California Supreme Court to rule on controlling legal questions pursuant to California Rule of Court 8.548:
Murray v. Alaska Airlines, Inc., ___ F.3d ___ (9th Cir. Apr. 10, 2008) (asking Supreme Court to decide administrative law question)
Munson v. Del Taco, Inc., ___ F.3d ___, 2008 WL 1700525 (9th Cir. Apr. 14, 2008) (asking Supreme Court to decide question relating to interpretation of Unruh Civil Rights Act, Civ. Code § 51)
Such orders are relatively rare, so it is rather unusual to see two issued within five days of each other. There is no overlap on the panels.
