CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO,

PG&E CORPORATION, et al,

Defendants. /

No C-02-3688 VRW

AND RELATED CASES

ORDER

This matter is on remand from the Court of Appeals. On

September 30, 2003, this court concluded, inter alia, that the

bankruptcy court erroneously remanded plaintiff’s restitution claim

brought under Cal Bus & Prof § 17200, et seq, because it did not

fall within 28 USC § 1452(a)’s “police or regulatory power”

exception. Doc #37. 

On appeal of the September 30 order, the Court of Appeals

reversed, explaining “that the section 17200 state lawsuits filed

by the Attorney General and San Francisco constitute police or

regulatory power actions that cannot be removed to bankruptcy court

under 28 USC section 1452(a).” City & County of San Francisco v
