Oliver V. Arizona Department Of Racing

Appellant (Oliver) appeals the dismissal of a complaint seeking review of a license revocation by the Arizona Department of Racing (Department). The trial court dismissed the complaint for failure to exhaust administrative remedies. The issues on appeal are whether Oliver was required to file a motion for rehearing with the Arizona Racing Commission after the Commission affirmed the decision of the Department and whether the Department exceeded its jurisdiction when it revoked his license. We conclude that Oliver failed to exhaust the administrative remedies provided by A.C.R.R. R4-27-124(F) and that the complaint was properly dismissed. Additionally, we conclude that the Department did not exceed its authority.
