Can I assume Roberts was the deciding justice on this?

If I recall correctly, only four justices need to consent to hear a case. We really shouldn't waste our time trying to figure out why the court refused to hear the Liberty case. Could be as simple as the conservatives justices believe they have the votes for a narrow ruling in favor of Hobby Lobby, but that the Liberty case raises issues that could muck things up.
