Gambler''s Express V. Public Utilities Commission

In this proceeding, Gambler's Express Inc. (Gambler's) appeals the order of the Adams County District Court holding that the Public Utilities Commission (the PUC) had not violated section 40-6-120(1), 17 C.R.S. (1993).*fn1 Gambler's now challenges the right of the PUC to extend temporary authority to Blackjack Shuttle Express, Inc. (Blackjack), a common motor carrier, because Blackjack's request was not approved by the PUC before the initial term of the temporary authority had expired. We conclude that the PUC had jurisdiction to consider the request to extend Blackjack's temporary authority. We accordingly affirm the judgment of the district court.
