Marrufo v. Ark. Dep't of Human Servs. (Majority)
Annotate this Case
A circuit court affirmed an administrative decision from the Arkansas Department of Human Serices Office of Appeals and Hearings which placed Appellant Jose Marrufo on the Arkansas Child Maltreatment Central Registry. On appeal, Appellant raised two issues: (1) because the Department failed to timely conduct an administrative hearing within the statutory time frame (180 days), the proceedings against him should have been dismissed; and (2) the administrative law judge erred in failing to consider his affirmative defense to placement on the Registry. Finding no error, the Supreme Court affirmed.
