PARKER, Chief Justice (concurring in part and dissenting in part). 
I concur in affirming the summary judgment in favor of Carroll Ben 
Powell, Jr., with regard to the City of Dothan's public-nuisance claim. I 
dissent from affirming the judgment in favor of Powell on the City of 
Dothan's interference-with-easement claim. I would reverse the 
judgment as to that claim. 
Cook, J., concurs.
