Alaska Supreme Court
Ronald P. Alleva a/k/a Ron Alleva; Annette M. Alleva; Alleva Investments, LLC; and Grubstake Auction Company v…
July 24, 2020467 P.3d 1083
Summary
The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed the superior court’s dismissal of the Allevas’ trespass and nuisance claims, holding that the 2012 settlement agreement could be considered on the Rule 12(b)(6) motion despite not being attached to the complaint and that the agreement’s release language bars the 2018 lawsuit. The Court reasoned that the complaint referenced the settlement and its authenticity was undisputed, and that the release unambiguously covered future claims.
