Appeals court sends Oregon's hospital admission deadline dispute back to the district judge
The 2020 modification by Judge Mosman had let the hospital keep defendants in jail longer than the 2002 order allowed, citing limited bed capacity during COVID-19. The appeals court's decision revives the original timeframe for people found unable to aid in their own defense.
Disability Rights Oregon's litigation timeline dates the appellate order to August 16, 2021, and says it asked the district court to reconsider the hospital's admission policy.
The ruling set up the interim settlement and neutral-expert process that followed later in 2021.
