Asa S. Davis, III v. Town of Exeter

Summary

The Rhode Island Supreme Court affirmed the Superior Court’s grant of summary judgment to the Town of Exeter. It held that the land between the cul‑de‑sac on Estate Drive and the plaintiff’s property is a paper street, not a public roadway, and that the plaintiff failed to exhaust the required administrative permit process. The court therefore affirmed the judgment and declined to grant the plaintiff’s declaratory and injunctive relief.
