Even if the hospital permitted members of the public to use the steps, it was not unlawful for the hospital to expel Kalfus for failure to comply with hospital policy requiring members of the media to obtain prior authorization before entering the premises. See Lloyd Corp. v. Tanner, 407 U.S. at 569, 92 S.Ct. 2219 (stating that private property does not “lose its private character merely because the public is generally invited to use it for designated purposes”).
