Or the Court of Appeal's take. I was surprised that defendant's counsel didn't say commit to appealing the decision. I would think that a novel issue like this would be the perfect one to take up on appeal. Perhaps the issue is that the 9th Circuit is not as likely to reverse this decision, and the cost (in legal fees) of getting to the Supreme Court is relatively high in comparison to the penalties assessed.
