No. 88-4690.

884 F.2d 235 (1989)

Jim PHYFER, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. SAN GABRIEL DEVELOPMENT CORP., Defendant-Appellee.

United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.

September 28, 1989.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Michael E. Earwood, Jackson, Miss., for plaintiff-appellant.

Leslie H. Southwick, John M. Grower, Jackson, Miss., for defendant-appellee.

Before WISDOM, RUBIN, and KING, Circuit Judges.


ALVIN B. RUBIN, Circuit Judge:

The issue is whether the lease of an oil and gas well terminated automatically upon the lessee's breach of its terms and, if not, whether, under Mississippi law, the lessor waived or is estopped to assert his right to recover possession of the well. The district court correctly held that the lease did not terminate automatically, and that the lessor, by his course of conduct, is estopped to terminate the lease.

I.
