Herriman v. United States

OPINION

NETTESHEIM, Judge.

This case comes for decision after trial. See J.B. Herriman v. United States, No. 647-83L (Cl.Ct. Jan. 29, 1985) (order denying defendant’s motion for summary judgment on taking). The court considered post-trial briefing to be unnecessary, a view concurred in by plaintiffs’ counsel. Plaintiffs complain that the Government, *412through the Army Corps of Engineers (the “Corps”), took a permanent easement on their land by operating two dams and reservoirs in such a manner as to cause a river linking the dams to back up onto their property.
