Grant T. Roderer, M.d. and Advanced Pain Centers of Alaska, Inc., Appellants v. Deborah Dash, Appellee

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed the judgment in favor of Deborah Dash, including the denial of Dr. Roderer's motions to dismiss, for judgment notwithstanding the verdict, and for a new trial, as well as the awards of attorney's fees and costs. The court held that the superior court acted within its discretion in imposing nonterminating discovery sanctions, that several appellate arguments were unpreserved or independently unnecessary to resolve, and that the Rule 68 offer was valid. Although the fee calculation method was erroneous, reversal was not warranted because Dr. Roderer invited that error. No separate opinions were filed.
