Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / Mar 29, 2022
Katherine Sovulewski, Appellant, v. Missouri State Board of Nursing, Respondent.
Katherine Sovulewski appealed the trial court's judgment affirming the Missouri State Board of Nursing's order setting probationary terms for her RN license. The appellate court determined that the Board's action of setting probation terms was a non-contested case, not a contested one, which significantly alters the required judicial review procedures. Because the trial court incorrectly applied contested case procedures, the appellate court reversed the judgment and remanded the case with instructions to allow Sovulewski to amend her petition for review under non-contested case procedures.
