Moran v. S. Coast Med. Ctr. (Summary)

REAPPOINTMENT DENIAL

Moran v. S. Coast Med. Ctr., G045628 (Cal. Ct. App. Mar. 11, 2013)

The California Court of Appeal affirmed a trial court’s denial of a physician’s writ of mandate to compel a hospital to vacate its decision to deny his reappointment and to withdraw a report sent to the Medical Board of California.  The court concluded that the hospital’s decision to deny reappointment had been based upon substantial evidence and had been subject to a meaningful appeals process that was in compliance with California’s Business and Professions Code.
