MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER

BUCKLO, District Judge.

This case concerns whether a doctor and hospital can be sued for restraining and sedating a patient against her will when she did not present a danger to herself or others. I find that the plaintiff has stated a claim for malpractice based on violations of the Illinois Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Code. The defendant's motion to dismiss is denied.

I.
