Simultaneously, a state court held the hospital in contempt for failing to admit patients referred to the hospital by state courts. Funding for the lawsuit and settlement, however, came from nonprofits via the Oregon Health Authority which also oversees the State Hospital, so it appears the State of Oregon is suing itself to force policy changes via the federal courts resisted by local district attorneys.
