IN THE MATTER OF CRYSTAL GOFF
Administrative law — Petition for judicial review — Failure to file memorandum
Following a May 15, 2017 hearing before the Office of Administrative Hearings, an Administrative Law Judge (“ALJ”) ordered the involuntary admission of appellant Crystal Goff as a patient to the University of Maryland Medical Center (“UMMC”). Ms. Goff appealed the ALJ’s order to the Circuit Court for Baltimore City. At the conclusion of a hearing on September 21, 2017, the circuit court granted UMMC’s motion to dismiss Ms. Goff’s petition for judicial review for failure to file a memorandum pursuant to Maryland Rule 7-207.
In her timely appeal, Ms. Goff asks us to consider whether the circuit court erred in dismissing her petition requesting judicial review of the ALJ’s ruling.
