Description

Bill Kraus and Gary Winter were Alaskan prisoners who were sanctioned for violating prison rules. A prison disciplinary committee punished Kraus by imposing a sentence of ten days in punitive segregation and ninety days loss of good time for striking another prisoner. Winter lost fifteen days of good time for lying to a prison official. Kraus and Winter unsuccessfully appealed to the prison Superintendent, and then to the Regional Director of the Department of Corrections. They then filed administrative appeals in the superior court pursuant to Appellate Rule 602. The state moved to dismiss each case, contending that the agency action was not appealable and that the court lacked jurisdiction These motions were denied and we granted the states petition for review.
