Adoni Health Institute v. Delaware Board of Nursing

Summary

The Delaware Supreme Court affirmed the Superior Court’s judgment upholding the Delaware Board of Nursing’s withdrawal of Adoni Health Institute’s approved nursing program status. The court declined to reach the Board’s cross-appeal concerning an earlier Superior Court opinion because affirmance of the later judgment resolved the matter and the remaining issues were immaterial or moot.

Holdings

1. The Superior Court's judgment affirming the Board's September 13, 2017 order withdrawing Adoni's approved nursing-program status is affirmed on the basis of the Superior Court's August 2018 opinion.
2. The Supreme Court declined to address the Board's cross-appeal because affirming the August 2018 Opinion already affirmed the withdrawal of Adoni's approved nursing-program status, and the cross-appeal presented issues that were immaterial and seemingly moot.

Questions Presented

1. Whether the Superior Court properly affirmed the Board's September 13, 2017 order withdrawing Adoni's approved nursing-program status.
2. Whether the Supreme Court needed to address the Board's cross-appeal concerning the Superior Court's July 2016 opinion after affirming the later judgment upholding withdrawal of Adoni's approved status.
