Alaska Supreme Court

Cynthia A. Johnson, Appellant v. Robert N. Johnson, Appellee

May 19, 20172017 Alas. LEXIS 54

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed the superior court’s denial of Cynthia Johnson’s motions to reopen the divorce case, modify the property distribution, and to recuse Judge White, finding no abuse of discretion. The court held that the motions were untimely under Alaska Civil Rule 60(b) and that the judge’s prior courtroom observations did not create a disqualifying bias.
