But a lawyer the Republican-dominated coalition that mounted a coup for power on June 8 says he will appeal the decision, which will probably further delay Senate action.
State Supreme Court Justice Joseph Teresi is ordering all 62 members of the Senate into session Tuesday morning. Gov. David Paterson has requested the action because he says there is essential work to be done.
