Text: The judgment of the superior court is AFFIRMED. 53 (...continued) Enterprises and Friesen. Giving due deference to the superior court’s closer view of the attorneys, their work, and its significance in the litigation, we see no abuse of discretion in the court’s failure to reduce the fees claimed for this activity. 54 Okagawa v. Yaple, 234 P.3d 1278, 1282 (Alaska 2010). Cf. Rhodes v. Erion, 189 P.3d 1051, 1053 (Alaska 2008) (stating “that whether [defendant] spent more on her defense than the amount in controversy is not dispositive” when determining whether attorney’s fees award should be reduced). 55 Friesen includes a challenge to the superior court’s prevailing party determination in the appellants’ statement of issues presented for review, but it is not addressed in his argument, and we therefore consider it waived. See Adamson v. Univ. of Alaska, 819 P.2d 886, 889 n.3 (Alaska 1991) (“[W]here a point is given only a cursory statement in the argument portion of a brief, the point will not be considered on appeal.”). - 23 - 7042
