Alaska Supreme Court
Morgan Doubleday, Appellant and Cross-Appellee v. State of Alaska, Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission, Appellee…
August 20, 20102010 Alas. LEXIS 87
Summary
The court affirmed the denial of Doubleday's permit applications because he failed to show that the State negligently or intentionally lost records that would likely have established his fishery participation. It declined to consider his challenge to the maximum number of permits because he had not exhausted administrative remedies and the issue required an agency-developed factual record. The court also affirmed the superior court's attorney-fee award because it was not an abuse of discretion.
