Case No. 4:19-CV-00524-BSM UNITED STATES ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS, et al. DEFENDANTS ORDER Defendants’ motion to dismiss Russellville’s inverse condemnation claim [Doc. No. 11] is granted, and that claim is dismissed without prejudice. Russellville’s claim for damages is also dismissed by agreement. See Doc. No. 5.

Lee, 343 F.3d 936, 938 (8th Cir. 2003). IT IS SO ORDERED this 25th day of September, 2020. Bron Fy A I Qo UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
