Why aren't you asking your own attorney?? That's what you pay him for.
Welcome to reality, of the court system breakdown from lack of funding due to
California's insolvency and debt.
Besides your attorney you can contact the appeals court clerk if some action has delayed the decision. Normally the court has ninety days from submission to issue a decision. The submission would have occurred on waiver of argument. However, the consequences from failure to release a decision only affects the courts pay not the results. Probability is that the court has taken some action such as resubmitting the case which restarts the ninety day period. You may not have received notice. Some times attorneys do not keep up with intervening court action. Check with court of appeals clerk to determine status. Good luck!
