Xavier T. Vidot v. Wayne T. Salisbury, Jr.

Summary

The Supreme Court of Rhode Island affirmed the Superior Court’s order granting the defendants’ motion to dismiss, holding that the plaintiff could not obtain a writ of mandamus or a permanent injunction because the RIDOC’s out‑of‑cell scheduling is a discretionary function, not a ministerial duty, and the plaintiff lacked a clear right to injunctive relief.
