Alaska Supreme Court

Red Hook Construction, LLC v. Randall C. Bishop, Teresa C. Bishop, and Richard Putnam

October 4, 2024

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court reversed the superior court's grant of relief from judgment under Civil Rule 60(b)(1), holding that the Bishops filed their motion untimely because it exceeded the one‑year limitation period, which cannot be tolled, and affirming that a court's mistaken assumption can constitute a “mistake” for Rule 60(b)(1) purposes.
