Coleman v. Illinois Racing Board

The plaintiff, Henry Lee Coleman, filed a petition for administrative review in the circuit court of Cook County after the Illinois Racing Board (Board) had suspended his groom’s license for the rest of his life. The circuit court upheld the decision of the Board. The appellate court, in a Rule 23 order (107 Ill. 2d R. 23), reversed the circuit court and ordered the Board to reinstate Coleman’s license (152 Ill. App. 3d 1162 (unpublished order under Supreme Court Rule 23)). We granted the Board’s petition for leave to appeal under Supreme Court Rule 315 (107 Ill. 2d R. 315).
