1Opinion of the Court
LEAVY, District Judge:
San Joaquin Blocklite supplied masonry materials to the masonry subcontractor on a federal government construction project. The subcontractor, General Masonry, did not pay its bill, and Blocklite turned to the general contractor for payment. The district court concluded as a matter of law that Blocklite’s notice under the Miller Act, 40 U.S.C. §§ 270a-270f, to the general contractor was insufficient, and denied recovery on the general contractor’s payment bond. This court has jurisdiction over Blocklite’s appeal from that decision under 28 U.S.C. § 1291.
