Case No. 23-1186

Summit Carbon Solutions, LLC
v.
Kent Kasischke

Kent Kasischke appeals the district court’s orders finding Iowa Code section 479B.15 constitutional and granting Summit Carbon Solutions, LLC’s (Summit) petition for injunctive relief pursuant to section 479B.15. Kasischke was enjoined from interfering with Summit’s entry upon his land for the purposes of surveying and examining the land to determine the direction or depth of its proposed pipeline. Kasischke argues: (1) the district court erred in granting summary judgment in Summit’s favor finding that section 479B.15 is constitutional; (2) the district court erred in finding that Summit is a “pipeline company” as defined by Iowa Code section 479B.2; and (3) the district court erred in finding that Summit was entitled to injunctive relief in accordance with section 479B.15.
