IN THE OFFICE OF ADMINISTRATIVE HEARINGS

On March 27, 2017, the Arizona State Board of Nursing, (hereinafter “Board”), filed a motion to vacate the hearing with the Office of Administrative Hearings in which the Board advised that Respondent failed to submit a written response to the Complaint and Notice of Hearing. Pursuant to A.R.S. Section 32-1664(J), the board may “consider a regulated party's failure to respond within this time as an admission by default to the allegations stated in the complaint. The board may then take disciplinary actions allowed by this chapter without conducting a hearing.”

Sufficient cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the hearing in this matter is vacated from the calendar of the Office of Administrative Hearings. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED remanding this matter to the Board for further action. Done this day, April 3, 2017.
