UNPUBLISHED OPINION

Heard October 14, 2014

Appeal From Fairfield County Brooks P. Goldsmith, Circuit Court Judge

John Evans James, III, of Winnsboro, for Appellants.

James W. Boyd, of Rock Hill, for Respondents.

PER CURIAM:

Carol Reid Smallwood, Barbara Reid Strickland, Ann Reid Hamlin, William L. Reid, III, Judith Lawrence Medlin, and Frances Patterson Lawrence appeal the ruling of the trial court denying their claim for a prescriptive easement against Helen M. Lee, Linda Lee, and Joe Lee, Jr., as Co-Trustees of the Joseph H. Lee, Sr. Family Trust U/W. We affirm.

We find the trial court did not err in denying Appellants' claim for prescriptive easement due to their permissive use of Respondents' property. See Paine Gayle Props., LLC v. CSX Transp., Inc., 400 S.C. 568, 584, 735 S.E.2d 528, 537 (Ct. App. 2012) (stating that use by express or implied permission cannot ripen into a prescriptive easement).

HUFF and KONDUROS, JJ., and CURETON, A. J, concur
