Description
THOMPSON, Circuit Judge This appeal presents the issue whether the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (""ERISA"") preempts a California statute that grants an employee trust, established pursuant to a collective bargaining agreement, a mechanic's lien to collect unpaid employer contributions due for employee fringe benefits. After finding that ERISA preempted the state lien statute, the district court dismissed an action brought by M.C. Sturgis and the other trustees of the California Field Ironworkers Trust Fund (the ""Trustees"") seeking to collect on a mechanic's lien release bond. We affirm. FACTS
