Issues ordered limited. The order filed on April 21, 2021 is amended in its entirety as follows: The petition for review is granted. Pending review, the opinion of the Court of Appeal, which is currently published at 60 Cal.App.5th 423, 274 Cal.Rptr.3d 512, may be cited, not only for its persuasive value, but also for the limited purpose of establishing the existence of a conflict in authority that would in turn allow trial courts to exercise discretion under Auto Equity Sales, Inc. v. Superior Court (1962) 57 Cal.2d 450, 456, 20 Cal.Rptr. 321, 369 P.2d 937, to choose between sides of any such conflict.
