William G. Osborne, Appellant v. State of Alaska, Department of Corrections, Appellee

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed the superior court’s dismissal of Osborne’s administrative appeal, holding that the superior court lacks subject‑matter jurisdiction to review Department of Corrections grievance decisions because they are not adjudicative and no statute grants appellate jurisdiction, that exhaustion of administrative remedies is irrelevant to that jurisdiction, and that challenges to sentence calculations must be brought as post‑conviction relief applications.
