Cedar Rapids dentist appeals 30 day license suspension
Duane A. Schmidt, a Cedar Rapids dentist, filed a federal lawsuit challenging a June 17 suspension order by the Iowa Board of Dental Examiners. His attorney argues the Iowa Supreme Court ruling in May on a similar case undermines the June basis for the action. Schmidt cites due process and claims the board cannot substitute its own judgment for that of the judiciary. The board had cited gross neglect in drug stock management and theft prevention failures as reasons for the original June 1985 suspension.
