Description
The question posed in this case is whether the Wyoming Board of Certified Public Accountants (Board) lawfully was enjoined from continuing with one of the counts in a disciplinary proceeding initiated against Curtis W. Christensen (Christensen). The Board contends that disciplinary proceedings relating to certified public accountants are within its exclusive jurisdiction and that the injunction entered by the district court infringed upon the exercise of the Boards lawful jurisdiction. Christensen sought the injunction because the challenged count of the complaint was premised upon infractions of the Rules of Professional Conduct, adopted by the Board, alleged to have been set forth in a letter of comment issued as part of a peer review conducted pursuant to a Settlement and Resolution of Disciplinary Action entered into between the Board and Christensen. In that settlement agreement, the Board had committed itself to pursue any such further disciplinary action only by giving written notice of its decision to proceed within sixty days after its receipt of the letter of comment. The trial court found that the Board had failed to proceed in accordance with the Settlement and Resolution of Disciplinary Action entered into by the parties and that the Board, therefore, was foreclosed from pursuing the challenged count in the disciplinary proceeding. We agree with this ruling, and we affirm the Order on Plaintiffs Motion for Preliminary Injunction.
