U.S. COURT OF APPEALS

*This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not

**The Honorable Thomas I. Vanaskie, United States Circuit Judge for

the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, sitting by designation.
have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm the district court’s

dismissal of these claims.

1. Bahr argues that Section 1793.03 of the Song-Beverly Act, Cal. Civ.

Code § 1793.03, requires manufacturers of certain electronics to supply all “service

and repair facilities” with repair parts and service manuals for at least seven years

after the date of manufacture. The Act’s text, however, suggests that this section

was not meant to apply to all repair facilities. Although the phrase “service and

repair facilities” is not defined in the Act, other sections of the Act clearly indicate

that this phrase refers to the manufacturer’s facilities or to authorized-independent

facilities, but not to unauthorized facilities like Bahr’s. Indeed, several provisions

of the Act address “service and repair facilities” that are operated or authorized by

the manufacturer, but address unauthorized “independent repair or service

facilities” separately. See Cal. Civ. Code § 1793.2(a); see also Cal. Civ. Code §

1793.3. Considering the legislation as a whole, Boise Cascade Corp. v. EPA, 942

F.2d 1427, 1432 (9th Cir. 1991), it is evident that the “service and repair facilities”

referred to in Section 1793.03 are those maintained or authorized by the

manufacturer. Because Bahr’s shop is unauthorized, Section 1793.03 does not

require Canon to supply Bahr’s repair shop with repair parts or service manuals. 

As such, we affirm the district court’s dismissal of Bahr’s Song-Beverly claim.

2. Bahr also argues that he properly pled a “tying” claim under the

Cartwright Act. We disagree. The district court identified defects with Bahr’s

tying claim and gave him an opportunity to amend his complaint, but Bahr did not

do so. Because Bahr did not properly allege that replacement parts and services are

two distinct products, see Eastman Kodak Co. v. Image Tech. Servs., Inc., 504 U.S.

451, 462 (1992), we agree with the district court that Bahr failed to properly plead

a tying claim. Thus, we affirm the district court’s dismissal of Bahr’s Cartwright

Act claim.

3. Lastly, Bahr argues that his Song-Beverly and Cartwright claims

support a derivative claim under the UCL. Because we find that the district court

properly dismissed these claims, however, Bahr’s claim under the UCL necessarily

fails. Thus, we affirm the district court’s dismissal of Bahr’s UCL claim. 

AFFIRMED.
