Oklahoma ex rel. State Board of Examiners of Certified Courtroom Interpreters v. Alvarado

Summary

The Supreme Court of Oklahoma reviewed the State Board of Examiners' recommendation to revoke Jazmin C. Alvarado's registration as a courtroom interpreter after her no‑contest plea to felony embezzlement. The Court held that a nolo contendere plea under a deferred‑sentence agreement constitutes a final conviction and that felony embezzlement satisfies the statutory ground for discipline, and therefore affirmed the Board’s recommendation, revoking the interpreter’s enrollment.
