Jim L. Widmyer, Appellant v. State of Alaska, Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission, Appellee

Summary

The court affirmed the superior court's decision upholding the CFEC's denial of extraordinary-circumstances participation points for the years Widmyer claimed. It held that the CFEC reasonably found Widmyer failed to prove intent, extraordinary circumstances, and reasonable efforts to participate, and that the CFEC permissibly excluded new evidence submitted with the reconsideration petition. The court also declined to reach Northern-fishery economic-dependence points because Widmyer failed to establish extraordinary circumstances for 1983.
