Minor technical point, but when the Supreme Court refuses to grant certiorari (i.e., refuses to "hear" a case), then the Court is not actually ruling in favor of one party or against the other. Rather, the Court is simply allowing the decision of the Court of Appeals to stand. The Supreme Court's refusal to grant certiorari has no precedential value for future cases. Now, with that being said, the practical effect of the refusal to grant certiorari is a win for the party that wasn't seeking the Supreme Court's review.
