2012-05-21- For good cause shown, the Superior Court of San Diego County is ordered to show cause
why the relief requested should not be granted. Absent objection on or before May 25, 2012, the
informal response filed by the superior court will be deemed its return to the order to show
cause, and petitioner may file a reply on or before June 15, 2012. In the event of an objection,
real party California Gambling Control Commission may file a return to the order to show cause
on or before June 18, 2012. Petitioner may file a reply on or before July 9, 2012. Absent a
written request on or before July 16, 2012, oral argument will be deemed waived. If a party
requests oral argument, the request should be in letter form with proof of service on the other
parties. The letter should also identify the focus of the party's argument and the amount of time
requested, not to exceed 15 minutes.

This means that the court is going to consider Burley's writ. The court appears to have forgotten that we are also real
parties in interest and we are entitled to file a return (opposition) to the writ. We are going to file a letter today
reminding the court about us and our right to oppose the writ. Assuming the above stated schedule remains, our
opposition will be due June 18, Burley will reply on July 9, and we will request oral argument before July 16. The court
will then set oral argument. I understand that due to vacation schedules, it takes longer to get a hearing with the court of
appeal during the summer. After oral argument, a decision must be issued within 90 days, although it often takes less
than 2 weeks. Thus, it appears unlikely that we would have a decision before September. Hopefully by then we have a
final, favorable decision in the DC case rendering this exercise moot.
