Alaska Supreme Court
Rand Joseph Hooks, Appellant v. Alaska USA Federal Credit Union and Dennis Albert, Appellees.
March 2, 2018413 P.3d 1192
Summary
The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed summary judgment for Alaska USA Federal Credit Union and Dennis Albert after concluding that Hooks failed to establish a genuine issue of material fact concerning the loan, deed of trust, or nonjudicial foreclosure. The court rejected Hooks's theories that the promissory note satisfied the debt, that the loan was unauthorized or lacked consideration, and that Alaska USA lacked authority to foreclose. It also rejected Hooks's judicial-bias and procedural-due-process claims because the record showed no extrajudicial bias and he received a meaningful opportunity to oppose summary judgment.
