James Caswell and Alaska Lime Company v. Ahtna, Inc.

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed a forcible-entry-and-detainer judgment awarding Ahtna possession of property used for a limestone-mining operation. It held that lease expiration, renewal, waiver, and breach issues were relevant to possession and could be resolved in an FED proceeding; that the notice to quit was effective; and that Alaska Lime was properly included because it was a person in possession. The court also upheld the superior court's decision not to permit additional discovery.
