Opinion
No. 48378.
October 20, 1975.
Appeal from the Circuit Court, Forrest County, Stanton A. Hall, J.
Butler, Snow, O'Mara, Stevens Cannada, Lawrence J. Franck, Jackson, for appellant.
Dudley W. Conner, Hattiesburg, for appellee.
Before PATTERSON, INZER and WALKER, JJ.
This is an appeal from the Circuit Court of Forrest County, Mississippi, which reversed an order of the Mississippi State Board of Physical Therapy in denying a license to the appellee as provided under the "grandfather clause" of Mississippi Code Annotated section 73-23-13 (Supp. 1974).
A discussion of the issues raised by the appellant would not add to the jurisprudence of the state. However, there is a patent error in the order of the circuit court which must be corrected.
Mississippi Supreme Court Rule 43.
The order of the circuit court provides that:
. . . the Mississippi State Board of Physical Therapy issue a license to Earnest L. Harrington without an examination, as provided under the "grandfather clause" of Section 73-23-13 of the Mississippi Code of 1972, as amended, as a corrective therapist; . . . . (Emphasis added).
Section 73-23-13 only provides for the licensing of physical therapists and not corrective therapists; therefore, the order of the circuit court is hereby corrected to provide that the Mississippi State Board of Physical Therapy shall issue a license to appellee as a physical therapist.
The judgment of the lower court is affirmed as corrected.
Affirmed as corrected.
GILLESPIE, C.J., RODGERS, P.J., and SMITH, ROBERTSON, SUGG and BROOM, JJ., concur.
