Supreme Court of Rhode Island

Gary v. Jenkins v. City of East Providence

June 6, 2023

Summary

The Rhode Island Supreme Court affirmed the Superior Court’s dismissal of Gary V. Jenkins’s complaint and denial of his petition for writ of mandamus. The Court held that Jenkins failed to provide a meaningful discussion of his appellate issues, thereby waiving them, and that his claims were barred by res judicata. Accordingly, the lower court’s order was upheld.
