About that motion for contempt

You might recall our posts on Aleut Enterprise asking a federal judge to hold its former tenant, Adak Seafood, in contempt for a purported failure to pay more than $215,000 in rent under a court-ordered lease agreement.

On Thursday, Judge Ralph Beistline denied Aleut's motion.

'Frankly somewhat appalling'

We told you last month about Aleut Enterprise asking a judge to hold its former tenant, Adak Seafood, in contempt for failure to pay $215,739.73 in rent.

As you might imagine, Adak Seafood has quite a different view of the situation, arguing the most it might owe in rent is $33,000.

The company's lawyer says the contempt request is "frankly somewhat appalling" given Adak Seafood's cooperation in relinquishing control of the Adak Island fish plant.

Read the company's full argument here.

Contempt at Adak?

Deckboss loyalists know this blog has followed closely the legal strife surrounding the processing plant way out there on blustery Adak Island.

I simply don't have the energy tonight to recap the saga. You are welcome to search the archives for past posts.

But here's something new for you Adak aficionados: a motion in which landlord Aleut Enterprise asks that its most recent tenant, Adak Seafood, be held in contempt of court for failure to pay $215,739.73 in overdue rent!
