Dale v. Oakland

An officer stopped Petitioner’s vehicle for a traffic infraction and determined that Petitioner was under the influence of marijuana. The Commissioner of the Department of Motor Vehicles subsequently revoked Petitioner’s license to operate a motor vehicle due to driving under the influence of controlled substances. The Office of Administrative Hearings upheld the driver’s license revocation. The circuit court reversed. The Supreme Court reversed the circuit court’s order and remanded for reinstatement of the Commissioner’s order revoking Petitioner’s license, holding (1) there was sufficient evidence for the hearing examiner to make findings of fact that supported the Commissioner’s order of revocation; and (2) the Commissioner had jurisdiction to enter an order suspending Petitioner’s driving privileges.
