District Court Denies Motions to Stop Fair Hearing
After a hospital’s medical executive committee recommended denial of a physician’s reappointment application, a fair hearing was held during which the physician claimed the presiding officer was biased against her, among other things, and asked the presiding officer to recuse herself. The presiding officer refused the request, and the physician filed a motion for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction to stop the hearing. The United States District Court for the Western District of New York denied the motions, finding neither were ripe for adjudication since there had not been a final decision regarding the physician’s reappointment.
