In a takings claim against the Orleans Levee District over the mineral rights for property expropriated as part of the Bohemia Spillway, summary judgment for plaintiffs is reversed and judgment entered for defendant where the plaintiffs, by entering into an earlier settlement agreement with the District, compromised their takings claim against the Levee Board, and thus, extinguished any takings claim they may have had.
