“"[W]e agree with Ostrow that the dismissal was based on mootness and did not adjudicate the merits. "Mootness is a jurisdictional issue which does not preclude a second action on the same claim if the justiciability problem can be overcome. McCarney v. Ford Motor Co. , 657 F.2d 230 , 233 (8th Cir. 1981), citing 18 C. Wright, A Miller E. Cooper, Federal Practice and Procedure § 4436, at 344 (1981). Under Alaska Civil Rule 41(b) a dismissal for lack of jurisdiction is not an adjudication on the merits. Blake v. Gilbert , 702 P.2d 631 , 635 (Alaska 1985). "Ostrow's first lawsuit for injunctive and declaratory relief became moot simply because the foreclosure sale had already occurred. Thus, the trial court erroneously held that Ostrow could not now litigate whether she had breached her obligations and whether the T.R.O. remained effective. . . ."”
