Glancy
Prongay & Murray LLP (“GPM”)
announces an investigation on behalf of investors of Sempra Energy
(“Sempra” or the “Company”) (NYSE: SRE) concerning the Company and its
officers’ possible violations of federal securities laws. Investors who
have suffered losses on their investment in Sempra securities are
encouraged to contact GPM to discuss their legal rights.
In October 2015, Sempra’s subsidiary, Southern California Gas Company
(SoCalGas), uncovered a natural gas leak from a well close to the Porter
Ranch neighborhood in Los Angeles. After Porter Ranch residents reported
suffering from symptoms including headaches, nausea and nosebleeds,
thousands of families were relocated from the area as SoCalGas struggled
to close off the well.
Then, on February 2, 2016, California Attorney General Kamala D. Harris
filed a lawsuit against SoCalGas, citing numerous and serious violations
of state health and safety laws. On the very same day, Los Angeles
County filed criminal charges against SoCalGas for its failure and/or
unwillingness to report the leak immediately after it was discovered.
On January 6, 2016, post-market, California Governor Jerry Brown
announced a state of emergency. Upon this news, shares of Sempra fell
approximately 5.4%, to close at $87.00 on January 7, 2016.
