05/29/92 Paul M. Luedtke V. Nabors Alaska Drilling

Paul M. Luedtke was suspended and then terminated from his employment with Nabors Alaska Drilling, Inc. (Nabors) after testing positive for marijuana use in a urinalysis. This court upheld Nabors' termination of Luedtke in Luedtke v. Nabors Alaska Drilling, Inc., 768 P.2d 1123 (Alaska 1989) (Luedtke I), but the case was remanded for a determination of whether Luedtke's suspension violated the covenant of good faith and fair dealing. On remand, the superior court found that Nabors did not violate the covenant of good faith and fair dealing when it suspended Luedtke. The court also imposed sanctions against Luedtke and his attorney pursuant to Alaska Civil Rules 11 and 95(a), and awarded attorney's fees pursuant to Alaska Civil Rule 82. Luedtke appeals the judgment in its entirety. We reverse.
