I would use something like this
Code:
function is_admin($id = -1) {
// If no ID is specified, they can't be an admin
if($id == -1) return false;
// Get the row for the user
$this->CI->db->where('id', $id);
$this->CI->db->select('rank');
$query = $this->CI->db->get('users');
if($query->num_rows > 0) {
$user = $query->row();
// They're admin if the rank is greater then 0
return $user->rank > 0;
} else {
// That user ID didn't exist
return false;
}

This way is a lot cleaner.
Code:
function is_admin($id = NULL) {
// If no ID is specified, they can't be an admin
if($id === NULL) return FALSE;
// Get the row for the user
$this->CI->db->where('id', $id);
$this->CI->db->where('rank >', 0);
return $this->CI->db->count_all_results('users') > 0;

Ah yes, the good ol' count methods, why did that not occur to me?
I could use that in a fair few places to clean up my own code lol
