David Szabo and Jane Szabo, Appellants v. Municipality of Anchorage, Appellee

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed denial of the Szabos’ motions for relief from a final judgment imposing civil fines for prolonged zoning violations. Relief under Rule 60(b)(1) was time-barred, the judgment was not void because the Szabos received notice and an additional evidentiary hearing, and the record did not establish changed circumstances or extraordinary grounds under Rule 60(b)(5) or (6). The court also held that reconsideration was properly denied because the superior court had adequately addressed the asserted due-process and excessive-fines arguments.
