Nicholas DiBiccari v. State of Rhode Island

Summary

The Rhode Island Supreme Court affirmed the Superior Court’s dismissal of Mr. DiBiccari’s lawsuit, holding that he must exhaust administrative remedies before asserting as‑applied constitutional challenges to the state’s onsite wastewater treatment system regulations and that his facial constitutional claims failed to state a viable claim. The Court affirmed dismissal of the takings, equal‑protection, and due‑process claims and remanded the case.
