Cole v. Citibank, N.A.

Summary

The Supreme Judicial Court affirmed the single justice’s denial of the petitioner’s G.L.c.211, §3 petition, holding that the petitioner failed to demonstrate that review of the trial‑court denial of his motion to dismiss was unavailable on appeal from a final judgment and that the justice did not abuse discretion in denying relief. The court also noted that complaints about counsel or the trial judge belong to the appropriate oversight bodies, not the petition process.
