-:After a review of the case law and the evidence, presented by the plaintiff, the court concludes that the plaintiff engaged in more than one professional review action and that the plaintiff has demonstrated the existence of a genuine issue of material fact concerning whether one of those actions satisfied the statutory requirements for immunity. The proceedings before the peer review committee led directly to the summary suspension of the plaintiff's privileges by the medical executive committee. This action by the medical executive committee constituted "an action ... based on the competence of an individual physician ..., which affects ... adversely the clinical privileges ... of the physician;" 42 U.S.C. § 11151(9); and thus satisfied the statutory definition of a professional review action.
