Both of these provisions state that a reviewing court can grant a stay of enforcement of the revocation or suspension of a license pending review. The relief is not automatic, however. Both provisions specifically prevent supersedeas from being granted if the licensee poses a probable threat to the health , safety or welfare of the state. Fortunately, it is the burden of the agency whose order is being reviewed to prove that there is a danger to the public.
Additionally, the Appellate Rule permits you to ask for expedited review. Which of course is recommended because you want to be back to work as quickly as possible, right? This means that the agency only has ten 10 days to file its opposition. This shortened time period may make it difficult for an overworked government attorney to file on time or to produce quality opposition.
File an appeal of the Final Order revoking or suspending your license with the appropriate agency and a copy to the appellate court. Be sure to follow all appellate rules and instructions. File a Petition for Expedited Supersedeas Relief with the appellate court at the same time. If you receive a favorable ruling from the court, deliver that order to the licensing agency in this case, the DOH and request that your license be reinstated immediately.
It is important to note that this form of relief will not make the underlying action disappear. Your return to practice will only be temporary, unless you win the appeal.
You will still have to show the licensing agency did something contrary to law when it imposed the discipline in order for the appellate court to overturn the decision. This is not often an easy task.
Furthermore, the law only permits a thirty 30 day window in which to appeal the agency's decision, after which your rights are lost and you are very likely stuck with the decision. What few people understand is that appeals are very technical and have complex, procedural rules that you must follow. An appeal of an agency final order is not the place to argue about the facts of your case or to try to prove different facts.
An appeal is all about the law and the court cases that have interpreted the law. For an appeal, a person needs an attorney. To prevail on an appeal, you must have a detailed knowledge of the correct, relevant court cases and you must be able to argue these in the proper form in legal briefs.

Hibbert said when the time came to find a replacement panel, she went to the forms dentists fill out to renew their state licenses. A question on the form asks if they would be willing to sit on the board as a regular member or just fill in if someone had a conflict of interest on a matter.
