They will decide the case and send a notice of decision to you. I am assuming California because there is only one Chief Justice and that is of the Supreme Court of California. Could also be the US Supreme Court.

"Under advisement" means the court is going to think about the issues presented. It is under consideration. In other words, it will let you know when it reaches a decision.
