Reinbold v. State

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed dismissal of Lora Reinbold's claims arising from an Ethics Committee investigation into her social-media conduct. It held that the claims against the State alleged no actionable executive-branch conduct, while claims against the Ethics Committee were barred by legislative immunity because the Committee acted within the legislature's disciplinary function. The court also upheld denial of amendments because one proposed claim was moot, another was legally futile, and later tort claims were untimely and did not relate back. No separate opinions were filed.
