Owsichek v. State, Guide Licensing & Control Board

OPINION

Before RABINOWITZ, C. J., CONNOR, BURKE and MATTHEWS, JJ., and DIMOND, Senior Justice. DIMOND, Senior Justice.

This appeal arises from an action Kenneth Owsichek filed against the Alaska Guide Licensing and Control Board after it partially denied his 1978 application for an exclusive use guide area permit. The superior court concluded that Owsichek’s action was in effect an appeal from the administrative order of the Guide Board, and the court dismissed the action as being filed untimely. The only issue before us is whether this dismissal was proper.

Owsichek became a guide for big game…
