Alaska Supreme Court

Pebble Limited Partnership, Acting Through Its General Partner, Pebble Mines Corp., Petitioner v. Lake And…

August 17, 20112011 Alas. LEXIS 81

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court denied Pebble Limited Partnership's emergency petition for review of a superior court order concerning pre-election challenges to a municipal ballot initiative. The order contains no substantive explanation for the denial. Justice Winfree would have granted review to determine whether the superior court fully resolved Pebble's challenges and whether the controlling-authority standard applied, while Justice Stowers concurred in denying review because expedited proceedings before the election were impractical.
