Savastano v. Nurnberg
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York
1Opinion of the Court
OPINION OF THE COURT
Lawrence, J.
This appeal concerns the right of the defendants to authorize the transfers of involuntarily admitted mentally ill patients, without their consent or a prior judicial hearing, from municipal facilities to psychiatric facilities operated by the New York State Office of Mental Health. We find that the statutory and regulatory scheme (see, Mental Hygiene Law § 29.11; 14 NYCRR 517.4) which permits the challenged transfers does not violate the Due Process Clause of either the US Constitution (US Const, 14th Amend, § 1) or the NY Constitution (NY Const, art I, § 6).
