United States Eighth Circuit

In a suit challenging the state law that allowed plaintiff's medical license to be revoked for failure to pay state income taxes, summary judgment for defendants is affirmed where: 1) plaintiff received constitutionally adequate notice and had an opportunity for a hearing; 2) the statute was rationally related to a legitimate government interest; 3) the statute was not impermissibly vague; and 4) the state properly revoked plaintiff's medical license for non-payment of taxes according to the law in question.
