The Cooperative sued Craighead County ("the County") alleging that in widening roads, the County encroached upon easements and rights-of-way owned or possessed by the Cooperative, causing the Cooperative damages in costs in moving power lines and poles and in taking of the easements or rights-of-way.
The County brought a motion for summary judgment asserting that only the County had a right-of-way in the land used to widen the roads because the County had sixty foot rights-of-way since entry of a County Court order in 1907.
The County asserts that it hasa prescriptive right in the land used in widening the roads, and that the Cooperative may not acquire an interest in the property by adverse possession because adverse possession is not effective against the County as a part of the State.
