On consideration of the Class Representative’s Motion to Extend Application of Federal Rule 

of Civil Procedure 23 to Class Proofs of Claim [Docket No. 4370] (together with its supporting 

papers, the “Motion”)1 filed by David Alonzo and the Objection to Class Representative’s Motion to 

Extend Application of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23 to Class Proofs of Claim [Docket No. 

4684] (together with its supporting papers, the “Objection”) filed by PG&E Corporation and Pacific 

Gas and Electric Company, as debtors and debtors in possession (collectively, the “Debtors”); the 

Court finding and concluding that: 

1. The Debtors’ Notice Procedures were robust and carefully calculated to reach all 

potential claimants; 

2. No non-bankruptcy forum certified the proposed class before the Petition Date; 

3. The Motion was filed well after the service of the Bar Date Notice; 

4. A post-petition claimant cannot represent a pre-petition class even if the relevant 

bankruptcy estates are solvent; and 

5. The traditional procedures for filing of claims and objections thereto are adequate to 

handle any alleged wrongdoing by the Debtors; 

And Mr. Alonzo having accepted the Court’s tentative ruling of November 14, 2019; and good cause 

appearing, 

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED: 

1. The Motion is denied. 

2. This Court shall retain jurisdiction to resolve any disputes or controversies arising 

from this Order.
