Heading: location and extent of easement

Text: In reliance on the validity of the judgment in the 1969 case before the appeal, Chavez graded, widened and straightened the trial which is now Enrique Road. The trial court in its judgment in this case apparently determined that the widened boundaries constituted the location of the prescriptive easement. The burden of establishing the location and dimensions of a prescriptive easement is upon the one asserting its existence. See 2 G.W. Thompson, Commentaries on the Modern Law of Real Property, § 350 at 281 (repl. 1980). The prescriptive easement is over the trial, not the straightened and widened part. Because no evidence was presented on the location and dimensions of the prescriptive easement, we remand this issue back to the trial court to correctly determine the location and dimensions of the easement. PAYNE and FEDERICI, JJ., concur.
