The Appellate Division of the New York Supreme Court today stayed the appointment of William Thompson Sr. as a “mediator” or “special master” in the conflict between Long Island College Hospital staff and SUNY Downstate Medical Center, which seeks to close and sell the hospital. The stay results from an appeal by SUNY of Judge Johnny Lee Baynes’ order appointing Thompson. SUNY has also appealed Judge Baynes’ order blocking it from closing LICH. The appellate court has not yet acted on that appeal. The stay of the Thompson appointment, which preserves the status quo while the appeal is pending, does not indicate how the appellate court may decide the merits of the appeal. The stay also does not affect the order of Judge Carolyn Demarest, also described here, that requires SUNY to account for LICH funds.
