Supreme Court of Rhode Island

Jay Patel v. John O. Mancini

May 27, 2026

Summary

The Rhode Island Supreme Court affirmed the Superior Court’s dismissal of Patel’s complaint, holding that res judicata bars his claims against LandingPartners LLC and 1850 Post Road Owner LLC, but does not bar his claims against John O. Mancini and Mancini Carter because they were not parties or in privity with the earlier case. The Court also affirmed dismissal of all claims against Mancini and his firm on the ground that the complaint failed to state a claim.
