Brooklyn's Long Island College Hospital won't be closing on Sunday as planned, but the facility's future remains uncertain.

A state supreme court justice this week upheld a temporary restraining order preventing SUNY Downstate from shutting down the Cobble Hill hospital this weekend, and ordered both sides back to court Wednesday.

The judge decided against holding SUNY Downstate in contempt of the restraining order, even though they took some steps toward closing the facility over the last week.

SUNY Downstate argued that its appeal of the restraining order gave it the right to do so.

The closure plan approved by the state had called for all patients to be discharged by Sunday, saying the hospital has been losing too much money.

Opponents say losing the facility would have dangerous consequences for Cobble Hill and surrounding neighborhoods.

SUNY Downstate is looking to sell the 155-year-old facility because it claims it loses $15 million every month. Hospital staff and residents marched over the Brooklyn Bridge in protest earlier this week.
