Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Jasper County, Brad McCall, Judge. WRIT SUSTAINED. Considered by Schumacher, P.J., and Chicchelly and Buller, JJ. Opinion by Schumacher, P.J. (5 pages)
The State petitioned for certiorari, challenging a district court order which overturned an administrative law judge’s (ALJ) determination that the Department of Corrections was justified when it removed Augustus Stoy from the sexual offender treatment program. The State claims the district court improperly supplanted the ALJ’s decision. OPINION HOLDS: We find the district court erred by overturning the ALJ and sustain the writ.
