ORDERS:
ORDER OF TEMPORARY INJUNCTION
This matter comes before me upon Summons and Verified Complaint alleging violations of the
South Carolina Medical Practice Act, S.C. Code Ann. §40-47-5, et seq. (Supp. 1993),
Regulations duly promulgated pursuant thereto, and other provisions of law, including, among
other things, illegal, unethical, and unprofessional conduct on the part of the Defendant, Dr. Jules
S. Neviaser. The Defendant has been indicted by the Horry County Grand Jury, by indictment
dated March 3, 1994, on five counts of Assault and Battery of a High and Aggravated Nature,
one count of Assault with Intent to Commit Criminal Sexual Conduct Third Degree, and two
counts of Unlawful Distribution of Controlled Substances. The particulars of such allegations, if a
conviction is rendered, would constitute misconduct on the part of the Defendant and grounds for
discipline by the Board of Medical Examiners, which could include revocation or suspension of
Defendant's medical license.
Defendant's counsel appeared and argued in opposition to Plaintiff's request for a temporary
injunction. Based upon the allegations in the complaint, affidavits provided by the parties, and
arguments by counsel, it appears that Defendant's continued practice of medicine may present an
immediate and serious danger to the public health, safety, and welfare which requires the
extraordinary measure of temporarily suspending Defendant's license to practice medicine in this
State pending further hearing and until further order. S.C. Ann. §40-47-210 (Supp. 1993).
THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that Defendant immediately cease and desist and be strictly
enjoined from engaging in the practice of medicine until further order, such order to be rendered
by this court no later than ten days from this date.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that an evidentiary hearing shall be conducted in Room 219, Brown
Building, 1205 Pendleton Street, Columbia, South Carolina, commencing at 10:00 a.m., Tuesday,
March 15, 1994, to determine what, if any, further equitable relief should be granted in this matter
pending the outcome of other proceedings involving the Defendant before other tribunals.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff, its agents and employees, are hereby designated as
agents of this tribunal to monitor compliance with its Orders, report any non-compliance for
immediate action, and perform such other duties and functions regarding this matter as may be
provided herein or by law.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, except for the fact of temporary suspension and any other
action expressly authorized to be released as public information, all pleadings, records, testimony,
orders, and other matters related to this proceeding shall be kept strictly confidential in
accordance with S.C. Code Ann. §40-47-213 (Supp. 1993).
AND IT IS SO ORDERED.
