Description
CHOY, Circuit Judge: This appeal grows out of a dispute over the operation of a North Hollywood, California, service station. Sun Valley Gasoline, Inc. (""Sun Valley""), the station operator, filed an action against its corporate landlord and that corporation's two stockholders (collectively ""Ernst"") alleging 12 separate causes of action. Ten of these counts were premised upon Title I of the Petroleum Marketing Practices Act (""PMPA""), 15 U.S.C. §Â§ 2801-2806 (Supp. V 1981). Title I of the PMPA imposes procedural and substantive restraints on the termination of, or failure to renew, a motor fuel-distribution franchise. The purpose of the statute is to prevent petroleum franchisors from dealing unfairly with their franchisees.
