LUI, J.
I concur in the result reached by the majority because of my conclusion that the question presented in this appeal is a matter which is governed by federal and not California law. The conclusion reached in Sudomir v. McMahon (9th Cir. 1985) 767 F.2d 1456, 1464, is precisely on point with the essential issue presented in this appeal and should be applied by us in reaching our disposition.
Nevertheless, I find the reasoning of Circuit Judge Canby’s dissent in Sudomir to be extremely persuasive and more closely associated with the views to which I subscribe. I do join, however, in the majority’s result since the supremacy clause dictates that federal law should apply in this instance.
A petition for a rehearing was denied May 16, 1986, and appellant’s petition for review by the Supreme Court was denied July 9, 1986.
