Enrique Sosa v. City of Woonsocket

Summary

The Supreme Court affirmed the Superior Court’s judgment, holding that the Superior Court had jurisdiction to hear the declaratory judgment because the City of Woonsocket was properly named as a defendant, and that the plaintiff’s admission to sufficient facts in Massachusetts did not constitute a guilty or no‑contest plea under LEOBOR § 42‑28.6‑13(i), so the city could not lawfully terminate his employment without the statutory notice and hearing requirements.
