Curry v. Lewis & Clark Natural Resources District

This is a condemnation action involving two parcels of land in Dixon County, Nebraska, which were owned by Robert G. Curry and Pamela Curry and condemned by the Lewis & Clark Natural Resources District (NRD) for a flood control and erosion prevention project. Following a jury trial, the district court for Dixon County entered judgment in favor of the Currys in the amount of $367,000. The Currys appeal from an order denying their motion for attorney fees. The NRD cross-appeals, contending that the district court erred in excluding certain expert testimony and in instructing the jury.
