State Supreme Court Justice William LaMarca in Nassau County issued his ruling late Tuesday afternoon.
Paterson appointed Ravitch, a former head of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, earlier this month as a way of breaking a monthlong leadership deadlock in the state Senate.
Attorneys for the state Senate argued that the state constitution does not allow for the appointment of a lieutenant governor when a vacancy occurs. The governor’s attorney says a state law allows him to fill some vacant posts until the next election.
