Thomas Pizzi v. Rhode Island State Labor Relations Board and Rhode Island Resource Recovery Corporation, No. 03-269 (April 13, 2004)

A party seeking review of an administrative decision, pursuant to G.L. 1956 § 42-35-16, must do so by filing a petition for a writ of certiorari. The petitioner, having filed a notice of appeal, is not appropriately before the Supreme Court. Consequently, the plaintiff’s appeal from a Superior Court decision dismissing his administrative appeal is denied and dismissed.

Raymond M. West, Jr. et al v. Town of Narragansett, No. 03-463 (April 13, 2004)

This is an appeal from a summary judgment of the Superior Court dismissing the claim of the plaintiff for money damages as compensation for drainage problems allegedly occasioned by the negligent paving of his street. Because the claim was filed more than three years after the cause of action accrued, suit is barred by the applicable statute of limitations for claims against a municipality, G.L. 1956 § 9-1-25. Judgment in favor of the defendant is affirmed.
