California Court of Appeal
S. San Joaquin Irrigation Dist. v. Superior Court (Pac. Gas & Elec. Co.), C056661
In a case wherein a district planned to add "retail electric service" to its existing services but unsuccessfully sought approval from a local agency formation commission, petition for writ of mandate or prohibition to vacate an order denying the district's motion for summary adjudication is denied as: 1) "retail electric service" is a different class of service from "wholesale electric service"; and 2) recent amendments to the Government Code set forth procedures and require defendant-agency's approval for a special district to provide a new or different service or class of service.
