Fairbanks North Star Borough v. Victory Ministries of Alaska, Inc., and Camp Li-Wa Inc.

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court held that the Superior Court lacked subject‑matter jurisdiction to decide Victory Ministries’ first appeal after the case had been remanded and new administrative findings were issued, and therefore vacated the Superior Court’s order granting the appeal. The Court explained that jurisdiction cannot be revived by a nunc pro tunc entry, nor by invoking Rule 520(c), and that the appellate court may not recall its mandate except in extraordinary circumstances.
