Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit

1Opinion of the Court

MORITZ, Circuit Judge.

*1027 Merrill Chance, a landowner in Osage County, Oklahoma, sued the government 1 to void a lease and various permits that allow Great Southwestern Exploration, Inc. (GSE) to drill for oil and gas beneath his property. He also seeks damages from GSE for trespassing on his property. The district court ruled that Chance's claims against the government were untimely under 28 U.S.C. § 2401 (a) ; thus, it reasoned, it lacked subject-matter jurisdiction to hear these claims and therefore dismissed them. It also dismissed Chance's claims against GSE.

We agree with the district court…
