The Minnesota Supreme Court determined Minn. Stat. § 117.225 does not authorize the discharge of a portion of an easement acquired by the State of Minnesota for state highway purposes through condemnation proceedings. The appellant sought a declaratory judgment seeking discharge of a portion of the State of Minnesota’s easement on his property. The district court granted Douglas County’s Motion for Summary Judgment. The Minnesota Court of Appeals affirmed the district court’s decision on the ground Minn. Stat. § 117.225 does not permit discharge of a portion of an easement. The Minnesota Supreme Court granted the Appellant’s petition for review, analyzed section 117.225, and affirmed the Court of Appeals. Douglas County was represented by Jason J. Kuboushek.
