Bbfm Engineers, Inc. v. Eric McDonald, Architects Alaska, Inc. v. Eric McDonald

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court reversed the Superior Court’s grant of relief under Alaska Civil Rule 60(b), holding that the plaintiff’s motion was untimely because it was not filed within a reasonable time, and that relief under Rule 60(b)(6) was likewise improper. The Court emphasized the 30‑day benchmark for Rule 60(b)(1) motions and found no extraordinary circumstances to justify the near‑year delay.
