Before SCHROEDER and BEEZER, Circuit Judges, and JAMESON, District Judge.


BEEZER, Circuit Judge:

This case involves California's regulation of winegrape purchase contracts. Continental Vintners, a winegrape grower, appeals the district court's summary judgment in favor of Somerset Importers, Ltd., a grape processor. The district court held that section 55601.5(g) of the California Food and Agriculture Code rendered a contract between Somerset and Continental unenforceable.1 We affirm.
