May 28, 2021487 P.3d 1075
Summary
The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed a superior court order awarding the State approximately $205,000 in attorney’s fees under the Civil Rule 82(b)(2) schedule and denying the landowners’ request to hold the fee proceedings in abeyance. The court held that the superior court correctly interpreted and permissibly applied Rule 82(b)(3)(I) and (J), adequately protected due process and court-access rights, and did not abuse its discretion in refusing to delay proceedings based on an anonymous letter. No separate opinions were filed.
