Petition for review granted
The requests to appear pro hac vice are granted. The petitions for review are granted.
The requests for an order directing depublication of the opinion in the above-entitled proceeding are denied.
Pending review, the opinion of the Court of Appeal, which is currently published at 103 Cal.App.5th 1031, 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, to choose between sides of any such conflict. (See Standing Order Exercising Authority Under California Rules of Court, Rule 8.1115(e)(3), Upon Grant of Review or Transfer of a Matter with an Underlying Published Court of Appeal Opinion, Administrative Order 2021-04-21; Cal. Rules of Court, rule 8.1115(e)(3) and corresponding Comment, par. 2.)
