Supreme Court of Arkansas
The Ralph Loyd Martin Revocable Trust Declaration Dated the First Day of April 1994 Ralph Loyd Martin
December 9, 20102010 Ark. LEXIS 587
Summary
The Supreme Court of Arkansas affirmed the circuit court's order allowing Arkansas Midstream Gas Services Corporation to condemn easements across the Martin Trusts' property for a natural-gas gathering pipeline. The court held that the Trusts lacked standing to bring a vagueness challenge because the statute did not regulate their conduct, and that the pipeline served a public use because Midstream was required to operate it as a common carrier providing equal access to multiple users. The court also rejected the Trusts' facial challenge because the statute was constitutionally applied to the facts presented.
