PER CURIAM. 

Following a joint trial, the defendants in these three appeals —Patrick Dale 

Burton-Hill, Jerald Dwayne Burton Jr., and Marcus Djaun Howard — were convicted 

of riot, AS 11.61.100(a), and third-degree criminal mischief, AS 11.46.482(a), based on 

an incident that occurred at the Fairbanks Correctional Center. Each defendant’s appeal 

has been briefed, and all three appeals are currently pending before this Court. 

Each of the three co-defendants has raised issues which require this Court 

to interpret the statutory definition of riot — to identify and clarify the elements of that 

crime under the definition codified in AS 11.61.100(a). The specifics of the defendants’ 

claims, and why those claims require this Court to interpret Alaska’s riot statute, are 

described in the following footnote. 1 

* Sitting by assignment made pursuant to Article IV, Section 11 of the Alaska 

Constitution and Administrative Rule 23(a). 

1 All three defendants argue that the jury should not have been instructed on the 

principles of “accomplice liability” — i.e., the principles of vicarious liability codified in 

AS 11.16.110(a) — because, according to the defendants, the riot statute defines the offense

1 

Based on our review of the trial proceedings, and based on our preliminary 

research into the legislative history and meaning of the riot statute, we concluded that the 

issues raised by the defendants present unanswered foundational questions about the 

meaning of the terms and phrases used in Alaska’s riot statute — and that, depending on 

the answers to these questions of statutory interpretation, the jury at the defendants’ trial 

may have been misinformed regarding the elements of riot. We further concluded that 

(...continued) 

in such a way that the normal principles of vicarious liability do not apply. In particular, the 

defendants argue that when AS 11.61.100(a) speaks of six or more persons “participating” 

with each other in “tumultuous and violent conduct”, the statute requires proof that six or 

more offenders each personally engaged in “tumultuous and violent” conduct at the same 

time. 

In addition, defendant Burton argues that the riot statute requires proof, not only that six 

or more people engaged in tumultuous and violent conduct at the same time and place, but 

also that these people were knowingly working in concert. 

Defendant Burton-Hill argues that the evidence presented at trial, even when viewed in 

the light most favorable to the jury’s verdict, fails to support the jury’s finding that he 

engaged in conduct that was “tumultuous and violent” within the meaning of the riot statute, 

AS 11.61.100(a). 

Defendant Howard argues that the riot statute’s reference to “tumultuous” conduct is 

unconstitutionally vague, and that the trial court’s jury instruction on the meaning of 

“tumultuous” defined this term so broadly that it encompassed innocent conduct. Howard 

also argues that, even viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the jury’s verdict, 

the State failed to prove that he engaged in “violent” conduct as that term is used in the riot 

statute — or, that if his conduct fell within the statutory definition of “violent”, then that 

statutory definition is unconstitutionally vague. 

Defendant Burton raises the additional argument that, given the definitions of “riot” and 

“criminal mischief” under Alaska law, if a person commits both riot and criminal mischief 

during the same incident, Alaska’s double jeopardy clause prohibits a court from imposing 

separate convictions and sentences for these two crimes.

the parties’ briefs fail to adequately address key aspects of the legislative history of the 

riot statute. 

We therefore issued an order which summarized our preliminary research 

and which directed the parties to file supplemental briefs on these questions of statutory 

interpretation. 

The State now asks us to rescind our order for supplemental briefing. 

According to the State, if the discussion in the three defendants’ briefs is insufficient to 

decide these issues of statutory interpretation, then — as a matter of law — this Court 

is required to rule that the defendants have waived all of these issues due to inadequate 

briefing. 

The State’s contention is incorrect. Our authority to order supplemental 

briefing on questions implicitly raised but not directly addressed in the parties’ briefs is 

well-established under existing Alaska case law. Indeed, under Alaska law, an appellate 

court may even address issues beyond those raised by the parties, if the resolution of 

those issues is necessary to a proper and just decision of the case. 

The leading case on this point of law is the Alaska Supreme Court’s 

decision in Vest v. First National Bank of Fairbanks, 659 P.2d 1233 (Alaska 1983). In 

Vest, the superior court granted First National Bank’s motion for summary judgment and 

dismissed Vest’s cause of action, after finding that this cause of action was governed by 

a two-year statute of limitations and that Vest’s lawsuit had been filed outside this 

limitation period. 2 On appeal, Vest did not dispute that the two-year statute of 

limitations was applicable to his case; instead, he argued that the bank was estopped from 

Vest, 659 P.2d at 1234.

raising a statute of limitations defense because (according to Vest) the bank had 

fraudulently concealed the facts that gave rise to Vest’s cause of action. 3 

Rather than decide the case on the issues presented by the parties on appeal, 

the Alaska Supreme Court directed the parties to file supplemental briefing on whether 

Vest’s cause of action was actually governed by a different, six-year statute of 

limitations. 4

 After receiving that briefing, the supreme court held that Vest’s cause of 

action was governed by the six-year statute of limitations, and the supreme court 

therefore reversed the superior court’s grant of summary judgment. 5 

In reaching this resolution of the case, the supreme court acknowledged 

that, ordinarily, an appellate court “will not consider an issue unless it [was] argued in 

the trial court and properly raised on appeal.” 6 But the supreme court explained that 

when the unraised issue “involves a question of law that is critical to a proper and just 

decision,” an appellate court “will not hesitate to consider it, particularly after calling the 

matter to the attention of the parties and affording them the opportunity to brief the 

issue.” 7 

Thus, Vest expressly recognizes that appellate courts have the authority to 

raise and resolve an issue of law that has not been raised by the parties, when resolution 

of this issue “is critical to a proper and just decision” and when the court gives the parties

an opportunity to address the issue. Both the supreme court and this Court have invoked 

this principle numerous times since Vest was decided. 8 

Even when the members of the supreme court have disagreed as to whether 

the court should exercise this authority in a particular case, the dissenters have never 

disputed the existence of this authority. 9 

8 See, e.g., Martin v. Martin, 303 P.3d 421, 426–27 (Alaska 2013) (holding that the 

superior court committed plain error in allowing a parent to deduct his insurance premium 

from his gross income, even though this ruling was not challenged on appeal); Cragle v. 

Gray, 206 P.3d 446, 450–51 (Alaska 2009) (deciding whether a particular statute applied to 

the case, even though neither party argued that the statute applied; the supreme court 

concluded that the applicability of the statute was a “question of law that is critical to a just 

and proper resolution of this case”, and the court gave the parties an opportunity to file 

supplemental briefs on this issue); Morgan v. State, unpublished, 2005 WL 901769 at *9 

(Alaska App. 2005) (ordering supplemental briefing when the resolution of certain questions 

was “crucial to a fair decision” in the defendant’s case); Garner v. Division of Medical 

Assistance, 63 P.3d 264, 268 n. 21 (Alaska 2003) (deciding whether the administrative 

agency failed to follow its own regulations, even though this claim had not been briefed on 

appeal, when the issue had been briefed in the superior court, and when this issue was 

“potentially determinative” of the case); Gilmore v. Alaska Workers’ Compensation Board, 

882 P.2d 922, 925 (Alaska 1994) (explaining that the supreme court ordered supplemental 

briefing on potential issues of equal protection and due process presented byAS 23.30.220(a) 

after the court concluded that these constitutional issues were “critical to a proper and just 

decision” in the case); Hickel v. Halford, 872 P.2d 171, 175 (Alaska 1994) (explaining that 

the supreme court ordered supplemental briefing because “sound reasons require[d] 

the consideration of an issue not raised by the parties”); Bubbel v. Wien Air Alaska, Inc., 682 

P.2d 374, 377 (Alaska 1984) (addressing the propriety of the superior court’s ruling on a 

breach of contract claim, when the resolution of this claim was “critical to a proper and just 

decision”, and when the parties had addressed the issue in supplemental briefs).

The cases cited in the preceding two footnotes represent only those cases 

in which Vest was explicitly cited by the appellate court. But there have been numerous 

other occasions when the Alaska Supreme Court and this Court have ordered or 

requested supplemental briefing without citing Vest. For two recent examples, see 

Division of Elections v. Recall Dunleavy, 491 P.3d 343, 365 (Alaska 2021) (explaining 

that, after the supreme court heard oral argument, the court requested supplemental 

briefing on a new legal issue); State v. Myers, 479 P.3d 840, 844 (Alaska App. 2020) 

(noting that this Court asked the parties to file supplemental briefing “on the proper 

interpretation of [a relevant] statute” when neither party “cited or discussed [this] statute 

in their original briefs”). 

Although this Court did not explicitly invoke Vest when we called for 

supplemental briefing in the three present cases, we wrote that “[the] defendants in these 

cases raise several issues that hinge, either directly or implicitly, on the definition of the 

offense of riot as codified in AS 11.61.100(a).” This was just another way of saying that 

the proper interpretation of AS 11.61.100(a) is — in the words of Vest — “critical to a 

proper and just decision” of these three cases. 

For example, to obtain a conviction under the riot statute, the State must 

prove that at least six persons who were “participating” with each other engaged in 

“tumultuous” and “violent” conduct. As we explained earlier in footnote 1, the three 

defendants in the present cases argue that when AS 11.61.100(a) speaks of six or more 

(...continued) 

1031 (Alaska 1989) (Compton, J., dissenting); Vest, 659 P.2d at 1235 (Compton, J., 

dissenting). 

In particular, see Burke, 222 P.3d at 873, and Clark, 780 P.2d at 1038, where the dissenting members of the court agreed that the supreme court was empowered to consider an issue 

of law that had not been argued if the resolution of this issue was critical to a proper and just 

decision of the appeal, but contended that this test had not been met.

persons “participating” with each other in “tumultuous and violent conduct”, the statute 

requires proof that six or more offenders each personally engaged in “tumultuous and 

violent” conduct at the same time. In addition, defendant Burton argues that when the 

riot statute speaks of six or more people “participating” with each other, this means that 

the State must prove that these people were knowingly working in concert. 

Moreover, one of the defendants (Burton-Hill) argues that the evidence 

presented at trial, even when viewed in the light most favorable to the jury’s verdict, fails 

to support the jury’s finding that he engaged in conduct that was “tumultuous and 

violent” within the meaning of the riot statute, AS 11.61.100(a). And another defendant 

(Howard) argues that the statutory terms “tumultuous” and “violent” are unconstitutionally vague, or else they are so broad that they encompass innocent conduct. 

Accordingly, this Court must determine the correct interpretation of these 

various terms as they are used in the riot statute. This inquiry is “critical to a proper and 

just decision” of the defendants’ cases — and, thus, our call for supplemental briefs is 

proper. 

In its motion asking us to rescind our call for supplemental briefing, the 

State does not dispute this Court’s conclusion that, in order to fairly resolve the issues 

raised on appeal, this Court must correctly interpret the definition of riot found in 

AS 11.61.100(a). Nevertheless, the State contends that we are legally forbidden from 

resolving any of these issues of statutory interpretation because the defendants have 

waived these issues through inadequate briefing. 

But as we have just explained, the State’s position is contrary to established 

Alaska law — the line of cases beginning with Vest v. First National Bank of Fairbanks. 

The State’s motion contains no mention of Vest, or any of the cases that cite Vest, or any 

of the other Alaska cases that deal with the topic of supplemental briefing. Indeed, most 

of the cases cited in the State’s motion simply repeat established rules governing the

preservation and waiver of issues, with no discussion of an appellate court’s authority 

to order supplemental briefing. 

To support its assertion that this Court has exceeded our authority, the State 

relies heavily on the United States Supreme Court’s recent decision in United States v. 

Sineneng-Smith, 140 S.Ct. 1575 (2020). In Sineneng-Smith, the Supreme Court reversed 

a case where a panel of the Ninth Circuit injected a new constitutional issue (not raised 

by the parties) into the appellate litigation, and named three amici curiae (who 

previously had not been involved in the case) to brief and argue this new issue — 

effectively relegating the parties’ attorneys to “a secondary role”. 10 The Ninth Circuit 

ultimately ruled, in accord with the invited amici’s arguments, that the statute under 

which the defendant was prosecuted was unconstitutionally overbroad. 11 

The Supreme Court concluded that the Ninth Circuit had abused its 

discretion by “depart[ing] so drastically from the principle of party presentation” — the 

principle that the parties will frame the issues to be litigated, and that the courts will 

serve as “neutral arbiter of [the] matters the parties present.” 12 Although the Supreme 

Court acknowledged that an appellate court “is not hidebound by [the parties’] precise 

arguments,” the Supreme Court concluded that the Ninth Circuit’s “radical transformation” of Sineneng-Smith’s case “[went] well beyond the pale.” 13 The Court therefore 

remanded the case for reconsideration by the Ninth Circuit, “shorn of the overbreadth

inquiry interjected by the appellate panel”, so that the litigation would again “bear[] a fair 

resemblance to the case shaped by the parties.” 14 

The Sineneng-Smith decision did not announce a rule of federal 

constitutional law. Rather, Sineneng-Smith addressed and applied a rule of federal 

appellate procedure. It is therefore not binding on the courts of Alaska when we interpret 

our analogous procedural rule. 15 

Moreover, the general principle described by the Supreme Court in 

Sineneng-Smith — the principle that the parties to a lawsuit normally control the issues 

to be litigated — is consistent with Alaska law on this topic. See, for example, the 

Alaska Supreme Court’s discussion of this point in State v. Ranstead, 421 P.3d 15, 21 

(Alaska 2018): “Our adversary system of justice is designed around the premise that the 

parties know what is best for them, and are responsible for advancing the facts and 

arguments entitling them to relief.” 16 

But in its motion, the State takes the United States Supreme Court’s 

explanation of this principle out of context — mistakenly suggesting that the principle 

of party control means that appellate courts are prohibited from seeking supplemental 

briefing on questions that are raised, but not adequately briefed, by the parties. 

Sineneng-Smith established no such rule. As the Supreme Court expressly 

recognized in Sineneng-Smith, the principle of having the parties control the issues to be 

litigated “is supple, not ironclad”, and “[t]here are ... circumstances in which a modest 

initiating role for a court is appropriate.” 17 

14 Id., 140 S.Ct. at 1581.

To illustrate its point that appellate courts can properly play “a modest 

initiating role”, the Supreme Court attached an addendum to its opinion in SinenengSmith in which the Court detailed all of the cases between 2015 and 2020 in which the 

Court itself requested supplemental briefing from the parties or appointed amici curiae 

to argue legal issues that were inadequately addressed in the parties’ briefs. As the 

Supreme Court explained in its addendum, the Court has often sought supplemental 

briefing “to clarify an issue or argument the parties raised” — including a case in which 

the Court ordered additional briefing on “the implications” of the parties’ competing 

statutory interpretations. 18 

Thus, even if the Sineneng-Smith decision werebinding on state courts, this 

Court’s order for supplemental briefing in the three present cases fully comports with the 

United States Supreme Court’s supplemental briefing practices, as manifested by the 

cases discussed in the Sineneng-Smith appendix. The Supreme Court has repeatedly 

called for supplemental briefing on issues that expand upon, or that are logically 

connected to, the issues already raised by the parties. Similarly, in the present three 

cases, this Court has asked the parties to address several legal questions which seemingly 

must be resolved if we are to reach a proper and just resolution of the issues that the 

defendants have already raised regarding their convictions for riot. 

18 Sineneng-Smith, 140 S.Ct. at 1582, citing Carpenter v. Murphy, 139 S.Ct. 626 (2018). 

Carpenter was a memorandum opinion which directed the parties, as well as the U.S. 

Solicitor General and the Muscogee Creek Nation, to file supplemental briefs addressing 

“(1) Whether any statute grants the state of Oklahoma jurisdiction over the prosecution of 

crimes committed by Indians in the area within the 1866 territorial boundaries of the Creek 

Nation, irrespective of the area’s reservation status[, and] (2) Whether there are 

circumstances in which land qualifies as an Indian reservation but nonetheless does not meet 

the definition of Indian country as set forth in 18 U.S.C. § 1151(a).”

All of these considerations are sufficient reason for this Court to deny the 

State’s request for us to rescind our supplemental briefing order. But there is one more 

consideration that needs to be addressed. 

The State argues that if a criminal defendant (or their attorney) fails to 

adequately brief all necessary aspects of a claim of error, this Court has no authority to 

investigate the claim any further — either by asking the parties to file supplemental 

briefs or even, apparently, by conducting our own legal research. Instead, according to 

the State, this Court is under a legal duty to deny the defendant’s claim on the ground 

that it is inadequately briefed. 

Not only does the State’s position contravene Vest, but it is especially 

problematic when, as in the three present cases, the claim of error concerns the 

sufficiency of the evidence to support a guilty verdict or the adequacy of the jury 

instructions on the essential elements of the crime. 

As our supreme court declared more than fifty years ago in Shafer v. State, 

“a miscarriage of justice [occurs] if the evidence [presented at a defendant’s trial is] not 

sufficient to support [the] guilty verdict” — and thus “it is the imperative duty of a court 

to see ... that [evidence] is offered which justifies a jury in finding [all] elements [of the 

charged crime].” 19 

The supreme court’s decision in Shafer addressed the duty of trial courts 

to ensure that there is sufficient evidentiary support for a criminal conviction. Shafer 

holds that trial courts have an affirmative duty to ensure that there is a sufficient legal 

basis for every criminal conviction — even to the point of acting sua sponte if necessary 

to prevent such a “miscarriage of justice”. 20

(We note that prosecutors have a similar duty. In the Comment to Alaska 

Professional Conduct Rule 3.8 (“Special Responsibilities of a Prosecutor”), our supreme 

court has endorsed the principle that “[a] prosecutor has the responsibility of a minister 

of justice and not simply that of an advocate” — and that “[t]his responsibility carries 

with it specific obligations to see that ... [a defendant’s] guilt is decided upon the basis 

of sufficient evidence [to prove the crime].”) 

Trial courts also have a duty to instruct the jury on “all matters of law ... 

necessary for the jury’s information in giving their verdict.” 21 Indeed, as our supreme 

court has explained, it is the trial judge, not counsel, who “bears the primary responsibility for instructing the jury.” 22 

We have previously explained that jury instructions are plainly erroneous 

when “the erroneous instruction or lack of instruction creates a high likelihood that the 

jury followed an erroneous theory, resulting in a miscarriage of justice.” 23 And when 

this Court holds that the jury instructions in a criminal trial amounted to plain error, we 

are saying, in essence, that the trial court should have acted sua sponte to correct the 

instructions and thus prevent a miscarriage of justice. 

In the three cases presently before this Court, we are faced with the 

appellate versions of these same problems that trial courts have an affirmative duty to 

notice and correct. Our preliminary research into the legislative history of Alaska’s riot 

statute suggests that there is a significant possibility that the jury found the defendants 

guilty of riot based on jury instructions that erroneously defined the elements of that 

crime. There is also a corresponding possibility that the evidence presented at trial was 

21 Alaska Criminal Rule 30(b). 

22 Khan v. State, 278 P.3d 893, 900 (Alaska 2012). 

23 Dobberke v. State, 40 P.3d 1244, 1247 (Alaska 2002).

insufficient (under a correct understanding of the elements of riot) to support one or more 

of the convictions in these three cases. Thus, there is a possibility that one or more of 

the defendants will spend years in prison for a crime that the State has yet to properly 

prove (because the jury instructions misdescribed the elements of riot). 

The State urges us to ignore these problems. In fact, the State argues that 

we have absolutely no authority to look into these problems — because, according to the 

State, (1) if we conclude that supplemental briefing is required, then it necessarily 

follows that the defendants have failed to adequately brief their claims, and (2) the law 

requires us to treat inadequately briefed claims of error as waived. 

But given the affirmative duty that Alaska law places on trial courts to 

ensure the legal sufficiency of the evidence in a criminal case, and to properly instruct 

the jury on the elements of the crime, it is implausible to assert that appellate courts lack 

even the authority to look into these problems. Rather, if we are to uphold the principles 

set forth in Vest, as well as the principles underlying the judicial duty to see that juries 

are properly instructed and that criminal convictions are supported by legally sufficient 

evidence, this Court must have the authority to call for supplemental briefing when 

substantial questions are raised regarding theproper interpretationofthecharging statute 

and these questions are not adequately briefed. 

For all these reasons, we deny the State’s motion asking us to rescind our 

order for supplemental briefing. However, because the effective date of that order has 

been delayed, we now revise the briefing schedule as follows: 

1. The briefs of the three defendants shall be filed by December 20, 2021. 

2. The State’s brief shall be filed 30 days thereafter. 

3. These filing dates may be extended for good cause. 

4. No reply briefs will be allowed unless ordered by this Court.
