152879P.pdf   05/11/2017  Rudy Webb  v.  Exxon Mobil Corporation
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  15-2879
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Little Rock   
[PUBLISHED] Riley, Author, with Wollman and Benton, Circuit Judges] Civil case - Contracts. In action alleging Exxon had materially breached the terms of easement contracts by failing to properly inspect and maintain a pipeline, the district court did not err in decertifying the class on the ground that the pipeline is composed of individual segments and Exxon's actions or inactions with respect to one individual's land would not necessarily implicate the interests of any other landowner; while the question of unreasonable use of an easement is generally one of fact, dependent on the nature of the easement, the grant and other circumstances, the evidence here was insufficient to raise a genuine issue of material fact as to whether Exon had unreasonably interfered with plaintiff's property, and the district court did not err in granting Exxon summary judgment on plaintiffs' breach of easement contract claims; the district court did not err in denying plaintiffs' motion to alter or amend the judgment based on a claim that Exxon delayed submitting certain discovery documents.
