Alaska Supreme Court

David Hurn, as Parent and Next Best Friend of Minor Children, D.h. and P.h., Appellant v. Simone Greenway, Appellee

February 8, 20132013 Alas. LEXIS 14

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed summary judgment for Greenway in a wrongful-death negligence action arising from Evans's shooting of his wife, Carrie. The court held that Greenway had no special-relationship duty to control Evans or protect Carrie and no duty not to provoke Evans through suggestive dancing because the shooting was not a foreseeable result and imposing such a duty would be unduly burdensome. No separate opinions were provided.
