Kutcher v. Commonwealth

Facts:

Following a de novo hearing in Boston, the motor vehicle board suspended the driver's license. The court found, inter alia, that the board did not commit error of law in its application of § 24(1)(f)(1) and the driver had no statutory basis for requesting review of the matter. The driver's refusal to submit to a chemical test when she was arrested for operating under the influence (OUI) in 2006 served as the basis for the enhanced license suspension of five years in light of the driver's two prior OUI convictions or admissions to drug treatment programs. The driver failed to show why she did not produce the police department reports at the board hearing. The certified copies of Arizona Motor Vehicle Division documents coupled with a matching photograph of the driver and her own admission that she paid a reinstatement fee constituted substantial evidence that the driver was the same person who was convicted of OUI in Arizona in 1998. Accordingly, her license was properly suspended.

Holdings:

The Massachusetts Court made the following holding:

  •   A court will not review evidence not presented at an agency proceeding and thus not in the record unless the party attempting to introduce the evidence shows good reason for not presenting it at the proceeding. Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 30A, § 14(5)-(6).   A driver's license suspension hearing is limited to the issues of whether the police office had reasonable grounds to believe that the person had been operating a vehicle under the influence, whether the person was placed under arrest, and whether the person refused to submit to a chemical test. Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 90, § 24(1)(g).
