IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF ALASKA

                      ORDER NO.    1342    

                                   Adding a note at the end of
                                   Civil Rule 24 to reflect
                                   changes made by chapter 105 SLA
                                   1998.  

IT IS ORDERED:

     The following note is added at the end of Civil Rule 24:


          Note:  Chapter 105 SLA 1998 adopts AS
          13.36.175 pertaining to contract actions
          against a trustee. According to section 23 of
          the act, subsection (c) of this statute amends
          Civil Rule 24 by allowing a beneficiary, or
          the attorney general and certain corporations
          under certain circumstances, to intervene in a
          contract action against a trustee without
          satisfying the criteria in the court rule. 
          The act also adopts AS 13.36.185 pertaining to
          the tort liability of a trust. According to
          section 23 of the act, subsection (d) of this
          statute also amends Civil Rule 24 by allowing
          a beneficiary to intervene in a tort action
          against a trust without satisfying the
          criteria in the court rule.
