Alaska Supreme Court

Bob Huber, Appellant v. State of Alaska, Department of Corrections, Appellee.

August 31, 2018426 P.3d 969

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court reversed the superior court’s affirmation of a prison disciplinary decision, holding that the inmate did not forfeit his due‑process claim by not raising it during the administrative appeal, that the failure to provide a written statement of the evidence and reasons violated due process, and that the violation was prejudicial. The Court emphasized that a mere guilty finding without factual support does not satisfy the Wolff requirement.
