STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS ERNEST E. LATREILLE and JOYCE ELLEN LATREILLE, UNPUBLISHED August 5, 1997 Plaintiffs-Appellants, v No. 188129 Kent Circuit Court LC No. 91-070264 BRUCE D. NIELSEN, Defendant-Appellee, and STACEY NIELSEN, Defendant. Before: Neff, P.J., and Smolenski and D. A. Roberson*, JJ. PER CURIAM. Plaintiffs appeal as of right from the trial court’s judgment that defendant Bruce D. Nielsen has an easement to park on plaintiffs’ property. We affirm. Plaintiffs argue that the trial court erred in finding that defendant has a prescriptive easement to park on the express easement for ingress and egress. We disagree. Rather, after reviewing the record, we conclude that the trial court’s factual findings concerning the elements of a prescriptive easement were not clearly erroneous.

Accordingly, we affirm the trial court on this ground. In light of this holding, we decline to address plaintiffs’ remaining issues. * Recorder's Court judge, sitting on the Court of Appeals by assignment. -1­ Affirmed. /s/ Janet T. Neff /s/ Michael R.
