Thomas Titus, Appellant v. State of Alaska, Department of Administration, Division of Motor Vehicles, Appellee

Summary

The court affirmed the administrative suspension of Titus's driver's license, holding that applying the proof-of-insurance statutes after his single-vehicle accident did not violate equal protection or due process and that no common-law de minimis exception applied. It vacated the attorney-fee award because the superior court failed to consider statutory protections for nonfrivolous constitutional claims and remanded for reconsideration of fees. The court also concluded that the superior court's failure to hold requested oral argument was harmless.
