John Reeves and Fairbanks Gold Co., LLC, and v. Godspeed Properties, LLC and Gold Dredge 8, LLC, and

Summary

The court affirmed that the 1986 deed created an easement appurtenant benefiting the property at the easement's terminus. It held that Alaska law recognizes partial extinguishment by prescription, but the evidence established extinguishment only where the permanent gold plant stood, not throughout the entire easement. The court reversed in part and remanded for the superior court to determine the precise portion occupied by the plant.
