Fantasies on 5th Avenue, LLC v. State of Alaska, Alcoholic Beverage Control Board

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed the superior court's decision upholding the denial of Fantasies on 5th Avenue's liquor-license renewal. The court held that substantial evidence supported the Board's conclusion that renewal was not in the public interest, that Fantasies received adequate notice and meaningful opportunities to be heard, and that the governing licensing provisions were not unconstitutionally vague as applied. The court declined to address a facial challenge to the statutory renewal procedure because Fantasies received more process than due process required and therefore was not injured. No separate opinions were filed.
