Wichita ? Patients of a Haysville physician who is charged with illegally prescribing pain medication asked a Sedgwick County court for an injunction prohibiting a state board from revoking the doctor’s medical license.

In court documents made public Thursday, the Pain Relief Network, on behalf of the patients of Dr. Stephen Schneider, filed for a temporary restraining order to keep the Kansas Board of Healing Arts from revoking his license without due process.

A hearing on the injunction was scheduled for 9 a.m. on Jan. 25 at the Sedgwick County Courthouse.

It seeks a restraining order to block the board – which sought an emergency suspension of his license after Schneider was indicted – from revoking Schneider’s license until he can personally appear to contest any such action.
