Practical Notes
When a certified midwife appeals a board disciplinary decision to district court, the underlying administrative record — including investigation files and hearing transcripts — is sealed and protected from public disclosure. Only the board’s final decision is publicly available. This protects privacy interests in disciplinary matters.
