Rbg Bush Planes, LLC, Robert B. Gillam, and McKinley Capital Management, LLC, Appellants v. Kenneth Kirk

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed summary judgment against Gillam. It held that Gillam had to exhaust the statutory administrative recusal procedure before pursuing his Alaska constitutional claims, while his federal due process claim was not subject to exhaustion but was unripe because no hearing had occurred and the recusal process had not been shown inadequate. The court also held that the superior court did not abuse its discretion by denying additional discovery because Gillam did not properly invoke the applicable summary-judgment continuance rule.
