James F. Bush, Appellant v. Craig Elkins and the Government Employees Insurance Company, D/b/a Geico Casualty…

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed the superior court’s grant of summary judgment against James Bush and its denial of leave to amend his complaint because the proposed amendment was futile. It vacated the award of attorney’s fees to GEICO, holding that the trial court failed to inform the pro se litigant of his right to respond. The case was remanded for the lower court to allow Bush an opportunity to oppose the fee award.
