Diaz’s lawyer Ross Goodman believes the commission acted in disregard for established and unequivocal Nevada statutory code at Monday’s hearing. After being contacted by MMA Fighting, Goodman says Diaz and his legal advisors are strongly considering petitioning a district court to review the NSAC’s decision.
Should they choose to move forward, “we would file a petition for judicial review in front of a district court judge,” Goodman told MMA Fighting. “It would entitle a judge to basically look at the hearing anew.”
Judicial review is a process by which if one requires an occupational license from the state and are denied such authorization by the relevant state agency, the petitioner can ask relevant courts to weigh assess the merits of the petitioner’s claims. This method can be used in cases where the petitioner believes the state agency broke the law, acted unfairly or made a decision not based on facts.
In addition to the review, Goodman contends they could also motion the judge for a stay the suspension while he or she deliberates the larger merits of the petition.
