Plaintiffs,
GRANTING DEFENDANTS’
MOTION TO DISMISS SECOND
AMENDED COMPLAINT
v.
SEMPRA ENERGY, et al.,

Defendants.
17
18
Before the Court is the Motion to Dismiss Plaintiffs’ Second Amended Complaint
19
(“SAC”) filed by Defendants Sempra Energy, Southern California Gas Company, Debra
20
L. Reed, and Dennis V. Arriola. (Docket No. 62.) The motion is fully briefed. For the
21
reasons that follow, Defendants’ motion to dismiss is GRANTED.
BACKGROUND1
22
23
Defendant Sempra Energy (“Sempra”) is a publicly traded energy-services holding
24
company whose operating units invest in, develop, and operate energy infrastructure, and
25
26
27

The following overview of the facts is drawn from the allegations the SAC. The
Court is not making findings of fact. Additionally, unless otherwise indicated, all
emphasis added in the SAC has been removed for ease of reading.
1
3:16-cv-00512-BEN-AGS
1
provide gas and electricity services to customers in North and South America. Defendant
2
Southern California Gas Company (“SCG”) is one of Sempra’s operating units. During
3
all time periods relevant to this lawsuit, Defendant Debra L. Reed (“Reed”) served as
4
Sempra’s Chairwoman and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), and Defendant Dennis V.
5
Arriola (“Arriola”) served as SCG’s Chairman, President, and CEO.
6
SCG is the nation’s largest natural gas distribution utility and operates over 20,000
7
square miles throughout Central and Southern California. SCG’s operations includes the
8
storage of natural gas. It owns four natural gas storage facilities, the largest located at the
9
Aliso Canyon facility (“Aliso Canyon”). During the putative Class Period, Aliso Canyon
10
11
contained approximately 115 underground wells.
This putative securities class action arises out of an October 23, 2015 natural gas
12
leak from a well identified as “SS-25” at Aliso Canyon (“the Aliso Canyon gas leak”).
13
The leak was sealed on February 18, 2016. The crux of Plaintiffs’ Complaint for
14
securities fraud is that Sempra made false and/or materially misleading statements in its
15
2010 and 2014 rate increase applications to the California Public Utilities Commission
16
(“CPUC”) and in various public statements prior to and following the Aliso Canyon gas
17
leak regarding Sempra’s commitment to safety, the scope of the Aliso Canyon gas leak,
18
and the risks the Aliso Canyon gas leak posed, primarily because none of these
19
statements disclosed that SS-25 lacked a safety valve and/or sliding sleeve valve.
20
21
LEGAL STANDARD
The SAC claims violations of Section 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act of 1934
22
and Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Rule 10b-5. To state a securities
23
fraud claim, a plaintiff must plead: (1) a material misrepresentation or omission by the
24
defendant; (2) scienter; (3) a connection between the misrepresentation or omission and
25
the purchase and sale of a security; (4) reliance upon the misrepresentation or omission;
26
(5) economic loss; and (6) loss causation. Webb v. Solarcity Corp., No. 16-16440, 2018
27
WL 1189422, at *4 (9th Cir. Mar. 8, 2018) (citing Matrixx Initiatives, Inc. v. Siracusano,
28
563 U.S. 27, 37-38 (2011)).

All factual allegations are accepted as true and “courts must consider the complaint
2
in its entirety, as well as other sources courts ordinarily examine when ruling on Rule
3
12(b)(6) motions to dismiss, in particular, documents incorporated into the complaint by
4
reference, and matters of which a court may take judicial notice.” Tellabs, Inc. v. Makor
5
Issues & Rights, Ltd., 551 U.S. 308, 322 (2007).2

DISCUSSION
The Court previously dismissed Plaintiffs’ First Amended Complaint for failing to
8
adequately plead the existence of materially false or misleading statements or scienter.
9
(Docket No. 56.) Defendants move for a second time to dismiss the SAC on the same
10
grounds, arguing Plaintiffs failed to cure the pleading deficiencies for both elements. The
11
Court agrees that Plaintiffs have again failed to plausibly allege scienter. 3
12
Securities fraud claims are subject to the heightened pleading requirements of
13
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 9(b) and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
14
1995 (“PSLRA”). In re VeriFone Holdings, Inc. Sec. Litig., 704 F.3d 694, 701 (9th Cir.
15
2012). Under Rule 9(b), plaintiffs must “state with particularity the circumstances
16
constituting fraud.” Id.
17
The Ninth Circuit recently reiterated that the standard for pleading scienter
18
“requires that a complaint ‘state with particularity facts giving rise to a strong inference
19
that the defendant acted with the required state of mind.’” Webb, 2018 WL 1189422, at
20
*4 (quoting 15 U.S.C. § 78u-4(b)(2)(A)). “A ‘strong inference’ that a defendant acted
21
22
23
24
25
26
27
28
The Court grants Defendants’ Request for Judicial Notice (“RJN”) as to all
documents relied on or referred to in the SAC, and other publicly available financial
documents, including Sempra’s and Reed’s SEC filings. See Dreiling v. Am. Exp. Co.,
458 F.3d 942, 946 n.2 (9th Cir. 2006) (SEC filings subject to judicial notice).
3
Because the Court concludes Plaintiffs have not met their burden to allege
scienter, it need not determine the sufficiency of their allegations that Defendants made
materially false and misleading statements. Nevertheless, without deciding this issue, the
Court’s review of the SAC indicates that at least some of the newly pleaded allegations
sufficiently establish this element.
2
3
3:16-cv-00512-BEN-AGS
1
with scienter is not an irrefutable inference, though it ‘must be more than merely
2
plausible or reasonable[.]” Id. (quoting Tellabs, 551 U.S. at 314. “A ‘strong inference’
3
cannot be identified ‘in a vacuum,’ as ‘[t]he inquiry is inherently comparative[.]’” Id.
4
(quoting Tellabs at 323) (alterations in original). “Rather, a ‘strong inference’ is an
5
inference that is ‘cogent and at least as compelling as any opposing inference one could
6
draw from the facts alleged.’” Id. (quoting Tellabs, at 324). Additionally, scienter “is a
7
subjective inquiry. It turns on the defendant’s actual state of mind.” Gebhart v. S.E.C.,
8
595 F.3d 1034, 1042 (9th Cir. 2010) (internal citation omitted); see also Ernst & Ernst v.
9
Hochfelder, 425 U.S. 185, 206 (1976) (“There is no indication that Congress intended
10
anyone to be made liable for such practices unless he acted other than in good faith.”).
11
In this circuit, scienter is a mental state that includes the “intent to deceive,
12
manipulate, or defraud,” and deliberate recklessness. Webb, 2018 WL 1189422, at *4
13
(quoting In re Quality Sys., Inc. Sec. Litig., 865 F.3d 1130, 1144 (9th Cir. 2017)).
14
“Deliberate recklessness is an extreme departure from the standards of ordinary care[,]
15
which presents a danger of misleading buyers or sellers that is either known to the
16
defendant or is so obvious that the actor must have been aware of it.” Id. (quoting City of
17
Dearborn Heights Act 345 Police & Fire Ret. Sys. v. Align Tech., Inc., 856 F.3d 605, 619
18
(9th Cir. 2017)) (emphasis in original).
19
A district court’s determination of whether a “strong” inference has been pleaded
20
must consider the following question: “When the allegations are accepted as true and
21
taken collectively, would a reasonable person deem the inference of scienter at least as
22
strong as any opposing inference?” Id. (quoting Tellabs at 326). The Ninth Circuit has
23
instructed that a court first “determine[s] whether any of the allegations, standing alone,
24
are sufficient to create a strong inference of scienter.” City of Dearborn Heights, 856
25
F.3d at 620 (quoting N.M. State Inv. Council v. Ernst & Young LLP, 641 F.3d 1089, 1095
26
(9th Cir. 2011)). If none of the individual allegations are sufficient, the court then
27
“conducts a ‘holistic’ review of the same allegations to determine whether the insufficient
28
allegations combine to create a strong inference of intentional conduct or deliberate
4
3:16-cv-00512-BEN-AGS
1
recklessness.” Id. Like the First Amended Complaint, the Court finds the SAC’s
2
allegations, whether evaluated individually or holistically, fail to support a strong
3
inference that Defendants acted with scienter.
4
First, Plaintiffs essentially re-plead the same scienter allegations that Defendant
5
Reed’s January 4, 2016 stock sales evidence her scienter because she would not have
6
received as much money for that sale if she had waited until after Governor Jerry Brown
7
declared the Aliso Canyon gas leak to be a state of emergency. 4 (Compare Docket No.
8
22 ¶¶ 160-161 & SAC ¶¶ 137-138.) As they did in the First Amended Complaint,
9
Plaintiffs attempt to imply a strong inference of scienter from the mere fact that Governor
10
Brown’s sister, Kathleen Brown, “serves on Sempra’s Board and was compensated
11
$235,000 in 2015.” (SAC ¶ 138.) Plaintiffs newly allege Ms. Brown does not have a
12
natural gas or utility industry background, that she “serves on Sempra’s Board so as to
13
facilitate political connections and access to the Governor,” that a Sempra spokesperson
14
“declined to say whether Ms. Brown’s role on the Board and on the Board’s
15
environmental committee involved her directly in decision-making concerning the Gas
16
Leak or in interacting with the state of California [sic] in managing the [Aliso Canyon]
17
Gas Leak,” and that Ms. Brown “properly” gave Defendant Reed “a slight advance-
18
warning” about the declaration of the state of emergency, which Defendant Reed
19
“improperly” used to her benefit in the January 4, 2016 stock sales. (Id.)
20
Plaintiffs’ allegations regarding Reed’s scienter suffer from the same flaws
21
identified in the Court’s June 20, 2017 Order, which it finds applicable to its current
22
analysis of Defendants’ instant motion to dismiss and incorporates by reference in this
23
Order. (See Docket No. 56 at pp. 20-24.) In particular, Plaintiffs’ opposition again fails
24
25
26
27
28
Plaintiffs’ SAC concedes “Defendant Arriola was not obligated to report his sales
of Sempra stock during the Class Period. As such, his sales, or lack thereof, are facts
unknown to Plaintiffs at this time and do not impact the scienter analysis[.]” (SAC ¶
139.)
4
5
3:16-cv-00512-BEN-AGS
1
to rebut Defendants’ prima facie evidence of Reed’s consistent stock trading history.
2
(See Docket No. 62-6, Defs.’ RJN Exs. P-S.) More importantly, Plaintiffs’ have not
3
plausibly alleged particularized facts to support the inferences they wish the Court to
4
draw, i.e., that Governor Brown told Ms. Brown that he was going to declare a state of
5
emergency, that Ms. Brown advised Reed of the same, that Reed sold her stock based on
6
this information, and that Reed therefore must have known the omission of SS-25’s lack
7
of safety valve was false or misleading. Once again, the Court concludes these inferences
8
are neither reasonable nor compelling based on the complete lack of facts, other than Ms.
9
Brown’s position on Sempra’s board and her alleged lack of natural gas or utility
10
11
background, to support Plaintiffs’ many accusations.
Second, Plaintiffs’ re-pleaded allegations that Defendants made false and
12
misleading statements in their 2014 CPUC rate increase application because they failed to
13
disclose that “Well SS-25, like the other wells at Aliso Canyon, were materially deficient
14
and lacked any safety or shutoff valve and lacked any sliding sleeve valve” still fails to
15
plausibly establish a strong inference of Defendants’ scienter. (SAC ¶ 135.) Assuming
16
Plaintiffs’ allegations that the 2014 application contained false and misleading statements
17
are true, the Court agrees with Defendants that Plaintiffs have not met their pleading
18
burden because they did not identify any specific persons responsible for the
19
application’s statements who had knowledge of the falsity and who intended to deceive
20
investors (or was deliberately reckless in deceiving investors). Indeed, Plaintiffs’
21
opposition does not even address this issue, it merely recites its unfounded conclusion
22
that “Sempra’s/SCG’s securing CPUC rate increases via deficient applications”
23
evidences Defendants’ scienter. (Opp’n at p. 24.)
24
Third, although Plaintiffs acknowledge the Court’s June 20, 2017 Order,
25
“provided Plaintiffs with a roadmap for further amendment” (Opp’n at p. 1), the SAC’s
26
newly pleaded scienter allegations have not cured the First Amended Complaint’s two
27
underlying deficiencies: (1) meeting the PSLRA’s heightened pleading standards for
28
scienter, and (2) articulating cogent and compelling inferences that any of the Defendants
6
3:16-cv-00512-BEN-AGS
1
acted with the requisite state of mind. Plaintiffs’ opposition focuses primarily5 on the
2
SAC’s allegations that Defendants Sempra and SCG intentionally covered up the Aliso
3
Canyon gas leak, “underreported the Gas Leak’s scope to minimize exposure to fines and
4
penalties,” “obstruct[ed] investigations and efforts to gather up and preserve evidence,”
5
and “[made] no mention of the Gas Leak or any of the deficiencies in Well SS-25 that
6
would make prompt resolution impossible” in Sempra’s November 13, 2015 prospectus.
7
(Opp’n at pp. 23-24.)
8
9
With respect to the alleged cover-up and underreporting of the scope of the Aliso
Canyon gas leak, the SAC lacks specific factual allegations to support this inference,
10
namely because it only generally alleges that Sempra and SCG learned of the gas leak as
11
early as October 23, 2015, but failed to follow their legal obligation to immediately report
12
it despite “attempt[ing] the first of its eight failed top-kill6 attempts on October 24, 2015.”
13
(SAC ¶¶ 66-69.) They also generally argue that Defendants’ financial motive to delay
14
reporting the leak to avoid higher fines and penalties is evidence of Defendants’ scienter.
15
It is undisputed that SCG’s late reporting resulted in the SCG’s plea of “no contest” to a
16
violation of California Health and Safety Code § 25510(a), payment of fines/costs in
17
excess of $4 million, and SCG’s agreement to certain terms regarding their well
18
management and leak detection systems. (Id. 66-78.) But even if SCG’s first top-kill
19
attempt occurred two-days before SCG reported the gas leak, the SAC does not contain
20
specific factual allegations to support a strong inference that there was an intentional or
21
deliberately reckless delay in reporting that was intended to mislead the public.
22
23
24
25
26
27
28
The Court’s discussion of Plaintiffs’ main opposition arguments does not mean
the Court has not considered all of the SAC’s newly pleaded allegations. In determining
the sufficiency of Plaintiffs’ pleading, the Court has thoroughly reviewed and considered
all of the allegations in the SAC, even though it may not expressly discuss each newly
pleaded allegation.
6
Plaintiffs do not define “top-kill attempts,” but based on the allegations of the
SAC, the Court infers that they consist of surface-level measures to stop the leak.
5
7
3:16-cv-00512-BEN-AGS
1
Moreover, while the SAC alleges SCG went door-to-door falsely reassuring
2
residents the gas leak was under control and they were not in imminent danger (i.e.,
3
allegedly underreporting the scope of the gas leak), there are no particularized facts to
4
indicate any specific persons knew the statements were false or intended to mislead
5
investors or the public at the time they were made.7 Instead, Plaintiffs effectively assert
6
their own general conclusions that all Defendants knew the effects of the Aliso Canyon
7
gas leak were worse than Sempra or SCG reported, and nevertheless failed to report
8
accurate information. Simply put, a three-day delay in reporting the Aliso Canyon gas
9
leak, coupled with financial motive, is not sufficient to meet Plaintiffs’ burden to plead a
10
strong inference of scienter.8 See City of Dearborn Heights, 2017 WL 1753276, at *10
11
(factual allegations that merely show “a motive to commit fraud and an opportunity to do
12
so provide some reasonable inference of intent, but are not sufficient to establish a strong
13
inference of deliberate recklessness”).
14
Similarly, Plaintiffs’ allegations that Defendants obstructed investigations and
15
efforts to gather and preserve evidence lack the requisite pleading specificity. The SAC
16
alleges, in a conclusory fashion, that “Sempra’s and [SCG’s] delay in initially reporting
17
the Gas Leak to authorities . . . delayed action by the District Attorney’s environmental
18
19
20
21
22
23
24
25
26
27
28
Notably, the SAC references the Los Angeles Department of Public Health’s
“complaint line data” to establish that “over 1,800 health complaints” were received that
were allegedly as a result of the Aliso Canyon gas leak. (SAC ¶¶ 71-72.) However, the
data provided indicates the data collected includes complaints lodged from September 23,
2015 (i.e. one month before the Aliso Canyon gas leak). (Id. at p. 32, “Figure 5.”) As a
result, the Court is left to speculate how many complaints were actually attributable to the
Aliso Canyon gas leak, as well as how this information (presumably compiled by the Los
Angeles Department of Public Health over a period of time prior to and after the gas leak
commenced), was available to Defendants at the time the allegedly false statements were
made. This is insufficient to establish a strong inference of scienter.
8
Inasmuch as Plaintiffs allege post-report statements also underreported the scope
of the gas leak, the Court finds the SAC similarly lacks particularized facts establishing
any specific person’s knowledge or intent to deceive.
7
8
3:16-cv-00512-BEN-AGS
1
crimes rollout team by several days, during which evidence and witness accounts were
2
not preserved.” (SAC ¶ 148.) There are simply no specific facts alleged to indicate
3
either who knew and intended to delay the District Attorney’s investigation, or who knew
4
and intended to prevent evidence from being preserved.
5
Plaintiffs’ conclusory allegation that Defendant Arriola “refused to guarantee that
6
pertinent evidence related to the Gas Leak would not be destroyed” because he stated
7
SCG was “working with DOGGR9 to ensure that evidence doesn’t get destroyed but there
8
are so many people out there and the urgency to close the well may affect” SCG’s ability
9
to preserve evidence fares no better. (SAC ¶ 149.) The Court disagrees that a strong
10
inference of scienter may be drawn from Arriola’s statement. On the contrary, the Court
11
finds a more reasonable inference may be drawn that Arriola intended his qualified
12
statement to explain that evidentiary preservation may be affected by the urgency to stop
13
the gas leak. Plaintiffs have failed to allege specific facts to establish a more compelling
14
intent to deceive.
15
As to Plaintiffs’ argument that a strong inference of scienter is substantiated by
16
Sempra’s November 13, 2015 prospectus because it “makes no mention of the Gas Leak
17
or of the deficiencies that would render impossible any prompt remedy,” the Court is not
18
persuaded. Plaintiffs have not alleged any specific facts to establish any Defendant’s
19
intent to deceive or mislead the public in not mentioning the gas leak, which was public
20
knowledge for at least two and a half weeks at the time the prospectus was filed. Along
21
the same lines, Plaintiffs’ contention that Defendants knew it was impossible to provide a
22
prompt remedy is not supported by factual allegations and amounts to no more than
23
Plaintiffs’ own subjective conclusion, which the Court need not assume true.
24
25
Finally, Defendants’ motion to dismiss argues the SAC’s attempts to invoke the
“core operations” doctrine is insufficient because it lacks specific facts to indicate it
26
27
According to the SAC, “DOGGR” is an acronym for the California Department
of Conservation’s Division of Oil, Gas and Geothermal Resources. (SAC ¶ 39.)
9
28
9
3:16-cv-00512-BEN-AGS
1
would be “absurd” to suggest key officers lacked knowledge of SS-25’s lack of safety
2
valve/sliding sleeve valve. (Mot. at pp. 20-22.) Under the “core operations” doctrine, a
3
plaintiff in certain circumstances may satisfy the PSLRA’s pleading requirements by
4
alleging “a scienter theory that infers that facts critical to a business’s ‘core operations’ or
5
an important transaction are known to a company’s key officers.” In re NVIDIA Corp.
6
Sec. Litig., 768 F.3d 1046, 1063 (9th Cir. 2014) (quoting S. Ferry LP, No. 2 v. Killinger,
7
542 F.3d 776, 783-84 (9th Cir. 2008)). The Ninth Circuit has cautioned that “absent
8
some additional allegation of specific information conveyed to management and related
9
to the fraud’ or other allegations supporting scienter, the core operations inference will
10
generally fall short of a strong inference of scienter.” Id. (internal quotation marks
11
omitted). Only in “some unusual circumstances,” such as “where the nature of the
12
relevant fact is of such prominence that it would be ‘absurd’ to suggest that management
13
was without knowledge of the matter” will the core operations inference, without more,
14
raise the strong inference required by the PSLRA. Id. at 1064 (citing S. Ferry LP, 542
15
F.3d at 785.
16
In opposition, Plaintiffs did not respond to Defendants’ argument against
17
application of the core operations doctrine. Nevertheless, the Court has reviewed the
18
SAC’s core operations allegations and finds Plaintiffs have failed to demonstrate that
19
their case is one of the “unusual circumstances” where application of the doctrine is
20
appropriate because they only generally allege Defendants had access to reports that
21
might have given rise to knowledge of the falsity of the alleged false or misleading
22
statements. See Webb, 2018 WL 1189422, at *10 (citing Police Ret. Sys. of St. Louis v.
23
Intuitive Surgical, Inc., 759 F.3d 1051, 1062 (9th Cir. 2014) (holding that proof under the
24
core operations doctrine “is not easy,” and requires “either specific admissions by one or
25
more corporate executives of detailed involvement in the minutia of a company’s
26
operations, such as data monitoring, . . . or witness accounts demonstrating that
27
executives had actual involvement in creating false reports”)).
28

10
3:16-cv-00512-BEN-AGS
1
In sum, reviewing the SAC’s scienter allegations individually and holistically, the
2
Court is not convinced that Plaintiffs have met their pleading burden to establish a strong
3
inference of scienter for any Defendant. Similar to the First Amended Complaint, at best,
4
the SAC alleges Sempra and/or SCG knew that SS-25 lacked a safety valve and had a
5
financial motive and opportunity to omit this information from: 1) the 2014 CPUC rate
6
increase application, 2) public statements regarding the scope and health effects of the
7
Aliso Canyon gas leak, 3) public statements regarding estimated time to stop the leak,
8
and 4) the November 13, 2015 prospectus. The Court finds these allegations, without
9
more, are not sufficient to support an inference of scienter, and therefore Plaintiffs have
10
failed to state a claim for violation of Section 10(b). See City of Dearborn Heights, 2017
11
WL 1753276, at *10 (factual allegations that merely show “a motive to commit fraud and
12
an opportunity to do so provide some reasonable inference of intent, but are not sufficient
13
to establish a strong inference of deliberate recklessness”).
14
Having determined Plaintiffs have not met their pleading burden to adequately
15
plead a violation of Section 10(b), the Court also finds Plaintiffs cannot maintain their
16
Section 20(a) claims against Defendants Reed and Arriola. Accordingly, the SAC is
17
DISMISSED.
18
19
20
CONCLUSION
For all of the foregoing reasons, Defendants’ motion to dismiss Plaintiffs’ Second
Amended Complaint is GRANTED.
21
The Court has considered Plaintiffs’ request for leave to amend but finds justice
22
does not require granting their request. As discussed above, the Court’s June 20, 2017
23
Order detailed several deficiencies in Plaintiffs’ First Amended Complaint, which
24
Plaintiffs failed to cure in their Second Amended Complaint. (See Docket No. 56.)
25
Other than their speculation that a “root cause analysis” of the Aliso Canyon gas leak
26
“could” lead to new allegations implicating Defendants’ liability, Plaintiffs have not
27
asserted the existence of any newly identified facts that would warrant amendment. (See
28
Opp’n at p. 25 n.15.) Although Plaintiffs asserted the root cause analysis report was
11
3:16-cv-00512-BEN-AGS
1
“months from completion” in their opposition, which was filed on September 15, 2017, to
2
date neither party has advised the Court of the report’s completion. Moreover, the Court
3
finds Defendants would be prejudiced if Plaintiff was allowed to file a third amended
4
complaint – having now prevailed twice on their motions to dismiss the same claims, and
5
in the absence of grounds to justify amendment of the claims. Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(2).
6
Therefore, Plaintiffs’ Second Amended Complaint is DISMISSED with prejudice.
7
IT IS SO ORDERED.
