1Opinion of the CourtRudman, J.
[¶ 1] Roy and Patricia Hopkins appeal from the judgment entered in the Superior Court (Cumberland County, Crowley, J.) affirming the decision of the Department of Human Services (DHS) to terminate their Medicaid benefits. The Hopkins contend (1) that DHS failed to provide them with adequate notice of the reasons behind the termination as required by federal regulations and DHS rules of procedure, and (2) that this failure deprived them of their constitutionally protected due process rights. We disagree and affirm the judgment.
