HAYNSWORTH, Senior Circuit Judge:
In this case in the diversity jurisdiction the question is the validity under the laws of Rhode Island of a termination of an automobile dealership franchise.
In 1972, Scuncio Motors, Inc. became a franchised dealer in Subaru automobiles in Peacedale, Rhode Island. In August 1982, Subaru of New England (“SNE”), the regional distributor of Subaru vehicles, undertook to terminate Scuncio’s franchise, and Scuncio sought injunctive relief, contending that the termination was unlawful under Rhode Island statutes.
The requested relief was denied, and we now affirm.
