  1. EL GABRI v. RHODE ISLAND BD. OF MED. LIC., 97-4344 (1998)

    C.A. No. 97-4344 (R.I. Super. Dec. 30, 1998)   Cited 2 times
    In El Gabri v. Rhode Island Board of Medical Licensure and Discipline, 1998 R.I. Super. LEXIS 36, the Rhode Island Superior Court addressed a similar argument made by an appellant who was challenging the Board's decision to revoke his license.

    The fact that a new allegation emerged, alleging a sexual assault in the appellant's office, underscored the urgency of protecting the public. In Everett v. Georgia Bd. of Dentistry, 441 S.E.2d 66, 67 (Ga. 1994), the Georgia Supreme Court upheld a summary suspension under a similar situation as the instant case, as the dentist inEverett had been accused of sexual offenses at his office building. The court in Everett stated, "under the circumstances, due process did not require a hearing prior to the summary suspension."Id.
