May 24, 2019441 P.3d 925
Summary
The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed the superior court's dismissal of the plaintiff's claims against prosecutors, holding that absolute prosecutorial immunity bars both state‑law tort and federal §1983 actions when prosecutors act as advocates, and affirmed the award of attorney's fees to the prosecutors. It also held that the orders denying a stay and a default judgment were not appealable final judgments.
