1Opinion of the Court

ROBERTS, J.,

for the Court:

¶ 1. Richard Swenson sued his neighbors, James and Sharon Brouillette (the Brouillettes), and claimed he was entitled to an easement over their property. Specifically, Swenson claimed he was entitled to a prescriptive easement and an easement by necessity. The Pearl River County Chancery Court found no merit to Swenson’s claims. Additionally, the chancellor found that Swenson failed to prove that he was entitled to damages for trees that the Brouillettes had trimmed. Swen-son appeals. Finding no error, we affirm the chancellor’s judgment.
