Alaska Supreme Court

Sean Wright, Appellant v. Tamatha K. Anding, Hsa Rebecca Bingham, M.d., and Geo Group, Inc., Appellees

March 17, 20172017 Alas. LEXIS 34

Summary

The court affirmed the superior court's denial of Wright's motion to disqualify the judge and its summary judgments against his medical malpractice and deliberate-indifference claims. The malpractice claims were untimely because Wright knew or should have known of the alleged injury more than two years before filing suit, and the deliberate-indifference claim failed because prison officials repeatedly investigated and treated his hearing complaints, including referrals to specialists. The court also declined to review miscellaneous arguments that Wright had not preserved or adequately developed on appeal.
