Hanna v. Dental Board

Opinion

CHAVEZ, J.

Sohair Hanna (appellant) appeals from a judgment of the superior court denying her petition for writ of mandate. Through the writ of mandate, appellant sought to overturn a decision of the Dental Board of California (the Board) revoking appellant’s dental license. While acknowledging that she pled no contest to a felony count of Medi-Cal fraud, appellant argues that the penalty of license revocation was a manifest abuse of discretion. We find that the penalty imposed was authorized and fell within the Board’s discretion, therefore we affirm the decision of the trial court.
