Sababu Hodari, Appellant v. State of Alaska, Department of Corrections, Appellee

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed the superior court’s award of attorney’s fees and its denial of paralegal fees. It held that the Department’s specific request for an itemized billing statement was sufficient to require Hodari to provide such itemization, and his failure to do so justified denying the paralegal portion of the fee request. The Court further concluded that any error in awarding attorney’s fees without itemization was harmless.
