Timothy G., Appellant v. State of Alaska, Department of Health & Social Services, Office of Children's Services…

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed the superior court’s order dismissing Timothy G.’s claim, holding that the lower court correctly applied the preponderance‑of‑evidence burden for proving mental incompetency and properly used an evidentiary hearing rather than summary‑judgment standards. The Court also held that Timothy’s arguments raised for the first time in his reply brief were waived.
