Line 1:
Line 1: − In ''Alaska v. United States'', 545 U.S. 75 (2005), a nearly unanimous [[U.S. Supreme Court]] held against a claim asserted by the State of [[Alaska]] to certain submerged lands underlying waters in Southeast Alaska, including lands in between and fringing the southeastern Alaska islands known as the Alexander Archipelago. − This case was handled as part of the [[original jurisdiction]] of the [[U.S. Supreme Court]]: [[Alaska]] initiated the action by filing a complaint with leave of the Court. As is customary in such actions, the Court appointed a Special Master to make a recommendation, in this case Professor Gregory E. Maggs. He accepted written and oral submissions of the parties and recommended a grant of summary judgment to the United States with respect to all the submerged lands in dispute. [[Alaska]] took exceptions to the report but held entirely in favor of the [[United States]]. − [[Category:United States Supreme Court Cases]] − [[Category:original jurisdiction]]
