Heading: sufficiency of the evidence

Text: In their petition for reconsideration, the plaintiffs argue that evidence purportedly showing Bresloff's lack of fitness to hold a position at Sandy River indicated that the Department's decision was unsupported by substantial evidence. Even accepting these allegations as true, information relating to the role of one individual does not render the Department's decision unreasonable when the Department found the Sandy River application equal or superior to Wyman's in every category measured. Finally, the plaintiffs contest the Superior Court's denial of their motion to consider additional evidence concerning agency bias. The plaintiffs cite only the ex parte contacts between the Department and Sandy River as evidence of bias, without explaining how they were prejudiced. The Superior Court did not abuse its discretion by denying the motion. The entry is: Plaintiffs' Motion to Strike dismissed as moot. Judgment affirmed. All concurring.
