APPEAL
Pursuant to Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure (“FRBP”) Rule 8009,
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) hereby submits the following statement of
the issues to be presented and designation of the items to be included in the record
on appeal of the Bankruptcy Court’s order dated August 24, 2021 (the “Order”)
compelling PwC’s compliance with a Rule 2004 Subpoena in relation to the General
Rate Case documents in the above-captioned proceeding.
I. STATEMENT OF ISSUES ON APPEAL
Was the Bankruptcy Court’s finding that the Trustee of the Fire Victim
Trust may obtain information that does not relate in any way to
causation of the wildfires an abuse of discretion, given that the claims
assigned by PG&E Corporation (“PG&E Corp.”) and its primary
operating subsidiary, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (the “Utility”;
together with PG&E Corp., “PG&E”), to the Trustee were limited to
those relating to causation of the wildfires?
II. DESIGNATION OF ITEMS TO BE INCLUDED IN THE RECORD
PwC hereby designates the following items of record on appeal to be certified
to the District Court pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 8009(a)(1)(A) and (a)(4):
