California Court of Appeal

Trial court's order that it lacked jurisdiction to consider plaintiff's claim challenging defendant's failure to reduce plaintiff's electricity rates is affirmed as Public Utilities Code section 1759 deprives the superior court of jurisdiction to entertain an action that could undermine the California Public Utilities Commission's authority.
