Description
Appellant Bang D. Nguyen appeals the superior court's affirmance of findings of fact, Conclusions of law, and final order issued by the Department of Health, Medical Quality Assurance Commission. The Commission found that Nguyen had committed unprofessional conduct and revoked his license to practice medicine with no right to reapply for a minimum of five years. The three primary issues presented by Nguyen's appeal are: (1) did the Commission apply the correct burden of proof to this medical disciplinary proceeding; (2) are the Commission's findings of fact supported by substantial evidence in the record; and (3) is the Commission's disciplinary action arbitrary and capricious? We find that: (1) application by the Commission of the preponderance of the evidence burden of proof did not violate due process or equal protection; (2) the Commission's findings are supported by substantial evidence in the record; and (3) the Commission's discipline is not arbitrary and capricious where its primary charge is to protect the health of the public. We decline to address Nguyen's remaining contentions. Thus, we affirm.
