OPINION

NICHOLSON, Acting P. J.

Plaintiffs, producers of walnuts, appeal the trial court's order striking all class action allegations from their complaint. Plaintiffs claim that a class action waiver in their arbitration agreements with defendant, a walnut processor, was unconscionable. The trial court disagreed with their argument, as do we. We affirm the trial court's order.
