Atkins v. Chevron USA, Inc., 672 F. Supp. 1373 (W.D. Wash. 10-1-87)

Franchisor may choose between applicable sections of the PMPA and owes no duty to sell the leased premises to franchisee or to preserve a purchase option for the franchisee. It is entitled to nonrenewal upon expiration of underlying lease. That Chevron still owns the improvements does not negate the fact that it has lost the "right to grant possession of the leased marketing premises." Court found "the PMPA does not contemplate an inquiry into the reasonableness of a decision not to renew a franchise" under this section.
