Noy v. State

Thus, the Alaska Court of Appeals overturned Noy's conviction and struck down the part of the law criminalizing possession of less than four ounces of marijuana.

Noy appealed the conviction, citing the Alaska Supreme Court case of Ravin v. State.

They cited the Alaska Supreme Court's decision in Ravin and ruled unconstitutional the part of the law criminalizing possession of more than four ounces of marijuana in one's home.

The unanimous three-judge panel concluded their ruling by stating, "To make AS 11.71.060(a)(1) consistent with article I, section 22 of the Alaska Constitution as interpreted in Ravin, we must limit the scope of the statute.

This ballot measure effectively reaffirms the holding of both Ravin and Noy, and voids the 2006 statute by the Alaska Legislature.
