Geringer v. Runyan

GOLDEN, Justice.

[¶1] Joe and Tammy Geringer filed petitions with the Wyoming State Board of Control (Board) for the involuntary abandonment of water rights Mark and Sharon Runyan and Robert and Jana Willson (herein referred to collectively as Appellees) hold on lands that were formerly in common ownership with lands on which the Geringers hold water rights. Following a hearing, the Board denied the Geringers' petitions, finding the Geringers lacked standing to pursue the petitions for abandonment. The Gering-ers appealed to the district court, which affirmed the Board's ruling. We also affirm.
