Alaska Supreme Court
Keilan Ebli v. State of Alaska, Department of Corrections
November 1, 2019451 P.3d 382
Summary
The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed summary judgment for the Department of Corrections, holding that restrictions on the prisoner's visitation with a former correctional counselor and her parents were reasonably related to legitimate penological interests and did not violate his constitutional right to rehabilitation. The court also upheld the trial court's decisions to allow DOC to amend its answer and to deny the prisoner's proposed complaint amendment as futile because he lacked standing to assert the constitutional rights of third parties.
