TO ALL PARTIES AND THEIR ATTORNEYS OF RECORD:

2 PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that on January 29, 2019, (the "Petition Date"), PG&E

3 Corporation and Pacific Gas and Electric Company, as debtors and debtors in possession (collectively,

4 the "Debtors"), each commenced a voluntary case (the "Chapter II Cases") under chapter 1 1 of title

5 1 1 of the United States Code (1 1 U.S.C. § 101 et seq.) (the "Bankruptcy Code") in the United States

6 Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California (the "Bankruptcy Court"). The Chapter 1 1

7 Cases are being jointly administered under Case Nos. 19-30088 and 19-30089.

PLEASE BE ADVISED that pursuant to Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code (the

9 "Automatic Stay"), the filing of a bankruptcy petition "operates as a stay, applicable to all entities,

10 of," among other things, "the commencement or continuation, including the employment of process,

1 1 of a judicial, administrative, or other action or proceeding against the debtor that was or could have

12 been commenced before the commencement of the case under [the Bankruptcy Code], or to recover a

13 claim against the debtor that arose before the commencement of the [bankruptcy] case," as well as

14 "any act to obtain possession of property of the estate or of property from the estate or to exercise

15 control over property of the estate." 11 U.S.C. § 362(a)(1), (3). Accordingly, the claim asserted

1 6 against Pacific Gas and Electric Company in this matter has been automatically stayed pursuant to

1 7 section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.

PLEASE BE FURTHER ADVISED that any action taken against the Debtors

1 9 without obtaining from the Bankruptcy Court relief from the Automatic Stay is void ah initio and may

20 result in a finding of contempt for violation of the Automatic Stay. The Debtors reserve and retain

2 1 their statutory right to seek relief in the Bankruptcy Court from any action by Plaintiffor any judgment,

22 order, or ruling entered in violation of the Automatic Stay.

PLEASE ALSO TAKE NOTICE that the filing of this Notice is not intended as and

24 is not a waiver of any defenses Pacific Gas and Electric Company is entitled to assert, including any

25 jurisdictional defenses.
