Alaska Supreme Court

Business Doe, LLC v. State of Alaska

September 5, 2025

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed the superior court’s denial of Business Doe’s petition to quash a subpoena issued by the Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Unit. The Court held that the subpoena was authorized under AS 45.50.495(b) and that the anonymous complaint letter provided sufficient cause to support the investigation, and it declined to decide whether a “cause to believe” requirement from subsection (a) applies to subsection (b).
