How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that father’s request for transport six days before trial did not give Public Safety sufficient time to “arrange for the personnel, travel accommodations, and jail space necessary to facilitate” father’s presence at trial
• analyzing first whether transport was required under AS 33.30.081(f) and then whether it was required under due process
• applying this consideration when determining whether prisoners have a per se due process right to transport, before proceeding to the Mathews inquiry
• underlying criminal case and subsequent CINA case were substantially related; interests of mother and father were materially adverse
• directing courts to consider prisoner’s interest in presenting testimony in person as opposed to other means
• providing “less than a week to arrange for the personnel, travel accommodations, and jail space necessary to facilitate” prisoner’s presence was unreasonable
