U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 22-2053
U.S. District Court for the District of North Dakota - Western
[PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Shepherd and Kelly, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Mineral rights. For the court's prior opinion in the matter
see, N. Oil & Gas, Inc. v. EOG Res., Inc., 970 F.3d 889 (8th Cir. 2020).
On remand, the district court correctly granted summary judgment to the
defendant on the ground that due to an over-conveyance of rights, the
plaintiff had not obtained any mineral rights in the subject property when
it acquired its interest in a leasehold - see Johnson v. Finkle, 837 N.W.
2d 132 (N.D. 2013).
