James R. Baber, M.d., J.d. v. Arkansas State Medical Board Trent M. Pierce, M.d., Chairman Joseph M. Beck, M.d…

Summary

The court dismissed Dr. Baber's appeal because neither the medical board nor its attorney had entered a final agency action subject to judicial review under the Administrative Procedure Act. Baber voluntarily surrendered his license before the board could consider or vote on his requests for a restricted license and a closed hearing, and the attorney's preliminary correspondence was not board action. Because the circuit court lacked jurisdiction, the appellate court lacked jurisdiction as well.
