State ex rel. O.H. v. West Virginia Board of Medicine (Signed Opinion)
Annotate this CaseIn September 2014, M.B. filed a complaint with the West Virginia Board of Medicine alleging that Petitioner had engaged in an improper sexual relationship with her while he was her treating physician and that he failed correctly to treat her. A deadline of March 16, 2016 was established for the Board to issue a final ruling on M.B.’s complaint. In February 2016, the Board obtained M.B.’s consent to extend the time for a final ruling on her complaint under September 2016. Petitioner then filed this petition for writ of prohibition, contending that the Board had failed to proceed in a timely manner. The Supreme Court denied the petition for writ of prohibition, holding that Petitioner failed to demonstrate an error of law or that the Board acted in excess of its jurisdiction.
