Robert W. Rude, Harold F. Rudolph, and Brenda Nicoli, Appellants/cross-Appellees v. Cook Inlet Region, Inc…

Summary

The court affirmed summary judgment for CIRI on all election-related claims, holding that the proxy required votes to be divided equally between the two named candidates absent an express contrary instruction and that the meeting location was authorized and reasonable. It also held that several remaining claims were barred by preclusion, factually unsupported, or waived. The court vacated and remanded the attorney-fee determination for reconsideration under Rule 68, affirmed the denial of Rule 11 sanctions, and directed that any fee award be apportioned among the individual plaintiffs.
