Motion denied
A federal judge has denied the Aleut Corp.'s motion to intervene in the Steller sea lion lawsuit.
The state and various industry groups are suing the federal government in hopes of killing new restrictions on cod and Atka mackerel fishing along the Aleutian chain. The restrictions are meant to preserve food for the endangered Stellers.
U.S. District Judge Timothy Burgess ruled that Aleut, which opposes the fishing restrictions, missed the deadline to join the suit as an intervenor.
However, the judge is allowing Aleut a say in the case as a "friend of the court."

Adak Fisheries bankruptcy recalls Ben Stevens
As frequent visitors to this blog know, Deckboss has been bird-dogging the bankruptcy case of Adak Fisheries, an Aleutian cod processor with a turbulent past.
Among the various motions now pending in the case is the company's attempt to break its lease with landlord Aleut Enterprise.
What's really interesting about this motion is its concise history of the business, including a candid accounting of its good and bad years financially.
The motion also mentions Ben Stevens, suggesting the son of the former U.S. senator was a key figure in a falling-out between Adak Fisheries founder Kjetil Solberg and one of his several partners.
Well, enough of my description. Just read the five-page motion.
By the way, the lease matter is scheduled to come up in a hearing on Wednesday in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Anchorage.
