Weber v. Hiatt

PER CURIAM: This ease concerns the same carpenters’ fund as was before the court in Hiatt (Bernard) v. Schlecht, et al., 400 F.2d 875 (9th Cir. 1968). There are minor differences and the Wendell Hiatt position here is slightly better than Bernard’s in the first case. But we do not find the factors significant enough to call for a different result. Most of the arguments presented by the plaintiffs (appellants) here would be equally applicable to the first Hiatt case. Any “affecting” of commerce, in our view, is exceedingly de minimis. The judgment of the district court dismissing the action for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction (the activities not “affecting” commerce) is affirmed.
