Friends for Murray Center, Inc., et al. v. Illinois Department of Human Services, et al., 2014 IL App (5th) 130481
Sep 19, 2013OUTCOME: Guardian ad litem appointed and injunction entered. Upheld on appeal in unanimous decision of the Illinois Fifth District Appellate Court.
Action brought on behalf of developmentally disablsed residents of Warren G. Murray Developmental Center, Centralia, Illinois, who were subject to guardianship of the Illinois Office of State Guardian ... to limit the State Guardian's authority to dictate residential placement where the State Guardian had a conflict of interest in assessing best interest of its wards with respect to residential placements and residential transfers. Appointment of guardian ad litem obtained and injunction entered precluding residential transfers. In an action arising from a decision of the State of Illinois to close a facility housing developmentally disabled adults and transfer those persons to community-integrated living arrangements, the appellate court held that petitioners met the criteria of being an “interested person” for purposes of section 23-2 of the Probate Act and had standing to bring their action, and neither the fact that all of the wards involved in petitioners’ challenge were subjects of other pending probate proceedings, nor the respondents’ claim that the powers of the temporary guardian ad litem appointed by the trial court, including the power to give a final consent to the transfer of any wards at issue, exceeded the permissible scope of a guardian ad litem’s duties required that the preliminary injunction against implementation of the decision had to be dissolved.
