The appellate court found the relator failed to demonstrate that the Office of Administrative Hearings acted arbitrarily or capriciously. The court specifically noted that the relator's arguments were unsupported by relevant legal authority and that his reliance on inaccurate case citations rendered his legal arguments unpersuasive.
