1Opinion of the CourtSiddoway, J.
¶1 Barbara and Ray Steinbock appeal the dismissal of this, their second action against Ferry County Public Utility District No. 1 (PUD) arising out of the PUD’s termination of electric service to their commercial and residential properties. The trial court properly concluded that the tort claims the Steinbocks asserted and proposed to assert in this second action necessarily fail, given the contractual nature of their relationship with the PUD and the determination in the first action that the PUD fulfilled its contractual obligations. We affirm.
