Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit November 9, 1995, 95-1735 (John J. Conforti, Doing Business as C & C Produce v. United States)

MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD, Circuit Judge.

John Conforti appeals the Secretary of Agriculture’s decision sanctioning him for violating the employment restrictions in the Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act of 1930, 7 U.S.C. § 499h(b) (1980) (“PACA”). We uphold the Secretary’s determination that Conforti violated PACA, but modify the penalty that the Secretary imposed.

I.
