COMPLAINT FOR DECLARATORY JUDGEMENT BREACH OF CONTRACT, AND OTHER RELIEF CASE NO: 2020-414 JUDGE JULIE R. SELMON
Plaintiffs have brought this action naming you as Defendants in the above-named Court by filing their Complaint on the 21st day of October, 2020.
The object of the Complaint is to declare the Plaintiffs as owners of the oil and gas rights underlying certain real property totaling approximately 115.891 acres located in Section 16 of Switzerland Township, Monroe County, Ohio, which is now identified as part of Monroe County Auditor’s Parcel No. 28-017003.000 (“Property”). The Property is more fully described in Volume 85, Page 174 of the Deed Records of Monroe County, Ohio.
Plaintiffs, Gregory A. Goble and Brenda S. Goble, hereby give you notice that they are asking the Court to declare them to be the record owners of all of the oil and gas underlying the Property. Plaintiffs are the record owners of the surface of the Property and claim to be the owners of the oil and gas mineral rights underlying the surface of the Property, including one-half of oil and gas mineral rights (“1/2 Mineral Interest”) that were reserved by C.C. Webb and Belle C. Webb in the Warranty Deed dated August 17, 1914 and recorded on April 30, 1917 in Volume 85, Page 174 of the Deed Records of Monroe County, Ohio (“1914 Warranty Deed”).
The Complaint alleges that the reservation contained in the 1914 Warranty Deed does not contain words of inheritance or perpetuity. Therefore, only a life estate was created in the 1/2 Mineral Interest reserved in the 1914 Warranty Deed. This life estate terminated upon the death of C.C. Webb and Belle C. Webb. The Complaint also alleges a breach of contract by CNX Gas, LLC.
The Compliant requests that the Court declare that the Plaintiffs are the owners of all of the oil and gas minerals underlying the Property. The Compliant also requests that the Court quiet title to all of the oil and gas minerals underlying the Property in the favor of the Plaintiffs and requests that the Court award compensatory damages be paid to the Plaintiffs by CNX Gas, LLC.
You are required to answer or otherwise respond to the Compliant within 28 days after the last publication of this notice, which will be published once each week for six consecutive weeks. The last publication will be made on the 13th day of May, 2021.
In the event you fail to answer or otherwise plead as permitted by the Ohio Rules of Civil Procedure within the time stated, judgment by default will be rendered against you for the relief prayed for in the Compliant.
Plaintiffs’ attorney is Cody Smith, One Easton Oval, Suite 550, Columbus, Ohio 43219, (614)414-0888, csmith@ewjjlaw.com.
