Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District / Apr 18, 2023
Ramalina Steiner vs. Stephanie Stribrny
Ramalina Steiner appealed the trial court's summary judgment in favor of her neighbor, Stephanie Stribrny, concerning a shared driveway easement. The trial court had awarded Stribrny a prescriptive easement over a portion of the driveway and extinguished a 1925 warranty deed easement by adverse possession. The appellate court affirmed, finding Steiner's argument regarding the prescriptive easement unpreserved and concluding that Stribrny had established continuous and hostile use for adverse possession as a matter of law.
