Alaska Supreme Court

Margret A. Mullins, Appellant v. Local Boundary Commission, and State of Alaska Division of Elections, Appellees

March 12, 20102010 Alas. LEXIS 26

Summary

The court affirmed dismissal of Mullins's administrative appeal as moot after voters overwhelmingly rejected the proposed borough incorporation. The election voided the Local Boundary Commission's approval decision, and the remaining challenges either were unlikely to evade review or sought only unavailable declaratory relief. The court also held that the superior court's procedural errors caused no prejudice and that claims against the Division of Elections were not properly presented in the administrative appeal.
