United States Ninth Circuit

Plaintiff-subcontractor's lack of a California contractor's license did not bar it from pursuing a Miller Act claim for payments due on a subcontract for work on a federal construction project in California, where: 1) the rights and remedies under the Miller Act may not be conditioned by state law; and 2) the limitation in California Business and Professions Code section 7031(a) on the right of a non-licensed contractor to maintain an action for collection of unpaid services does not apply to an action under the Miller Act.
