Syllabus

The common pleas court did not abuse its discretion in upholding the determination of the state medical board permanently to revoke the license of a doctor who, even after having been convicted of a federal felony, was convicted by plea of seven subsequent felonies under Ohio law. Medical board proceedings do not allow collateral attack on criminal convictions, and neither that rule nor the enforcement there of certain relevancy limitations on the introduction of supposed mitigation evidence violates due process. The board was authorized by law to strip the doctor of his medical license, and courts are not empowered to recalibrate that sanction. Judgment affirmed.
