Szabo v. Municipality of Anchorage

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed the denial of the Szabos' motions for relief from judgment and reconsideration. It held that relief was unavailable because the Rule 60(b)(1) motion was untimely, the judgment was not void for lack of due process, no changed circumstances justified relief under Rule 60(b)(5), and Rule 60(b)(6) could not be used to raise an excessive-fines claim that was not presented on direct appeal. The court also held that the superior court did not abuse its discretion in denying reconsideration.
