STATE v. ROBART

No. A-7013.

988 P.2d 1114 (1999)

STATE of Alaska, Appellant, v. Scott P. ROBART, Appellee.

Court of Appeals of Alaska.

October 8, 1999.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Eric A. Johnson, Assistant Attorney General, Office of Special Prosecutions and Appeals, Anchorage, and Bruce M. Botelho, Attorney General, Juneau, for Appellant.

Matthew W. Claman, Anchorage, for Appellee.

Before COATS, Chief Judge, and MANNHEIMER and STEWART, Judges.

OPINION

STEWART, Judge.

Alaska law forbids a person to use the official state seal "for any advertising or commercial purpose"1 without permission from the Lieutenant Governor. In this case, we hold that this law does not violate freedom of speech and that the State can prosecute a person who manufactures and sells coins that use the state seal without permission.
