Harry forquer v. State Alaska

This is a consolidation of three separate appeals. All three appellants were applicants for limited entry permits issued by the Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission [hereafter cited as "CFEC" or "Commission"] pursuant to the Alaska Limited Entry Act, AS 16.43.010 - 16.43.380. The Commission distributes entry permits for each fishery to those applicants who have the highest point totals. Points are awarded for items such as ownership of fishing gear or vessels, economic dependence on fishing, and past participation in the particular fishery. All three of the applicants were denied entry permits for the fishery they applied for. The Commissions reason for each denial was insufficient points.
