State of Alaska, Appellant v. John Doe a and John Doe B, Appellees

Summary

The court held that a preexisting two-to-one decision concerning retroactive application of Alaska's sex-offender-registration law remained binding precedent because the later appellate rule eliminating precedential effect for two-to-one decisions was substantive and was not expressly made retroactive. Applying that precedent, the court affirmed summary judgment for the appellees on their ex post facto claim. No separate opinions were filed.
