First Circuit -- Gonzalez-Droz v. Gonzalez-Colon

Puerto Rico Board of Medical Examiners' ruling that only surgeons accredited in plastic surgery or dermatology are allowed to practice cosmetic medicine survives rational basis review.

Not unconstitutionally vague.

No requirement of pre-deprivation hearing.

Claim of inadequate notice is sheer persiflage - actual knowledge established.

Insufficiently conscience-shocking to be a substantive due process violation.

Not retaliation for suit, as foreordained.
