P0803 As a sanction for disruptive behavior by a physician who was terminated by a health care facility, the hearing officer has the authority to terminate an administrative hearing to review the termination; the authority was properly exercised by a hearing officer who terminated the proceeding in view of the fact that repeated sanctions, warnings, and importunings to treat the officer and process with respect did not induce the physician to stop engaging in disruptive behavior that included arguing with the hearing officers, refusing to comply with their evidentiary rulings, attempting to have ex parte contact with them, and acting boisterously during the proceedings.CitationMILEIKOWSKY v TENET HEALTH SYSTEM (Hearing Termination) 128 CA4 531 [See: B&PC 805 etseq; DeCuir v County of LA 64 CA4 75 ]
