Karen A. Oliveira v. Ashley L. Levesque

Summary

The Supreme Court affirmed the Superior Court’s summary‑judgment entry granting the plaintiff’s breach‑of‑contract claim for unpaid attorney fees. The Court held that the defendant’s failure to object, to respond to requests for admission, and to appear at the hearing meant no genuine issue of material fact existed. It also reiterated that pro se litigants are not exempt from procedural rules.
