Alison Glassie, in her capacity as of the Estate of Jacquelin C. Glassie and as Assignee of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., Trustee of the Jacquelin Caffrey Glassie Trust II v. Paul Doucette, in his capacity as of the Estate of Donelson C. Glassie, Jr.

Syllabus

The defendant, Paul Doucette, in his capacity as Executor of the Estate of Donelson C. Glassie, Jr., appealed from a November 14, 2023 order of the Superior Court, granting the motion to dismiss the defendant's appeal, which motion was filed by the plaintiff, Alison Glassie, who commenced this civil action in her capacity as Executrix of the Estate of Jacquelin C. Glassie and as assignee of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., Trustee of the Jacquelin Caffrey Glassie Trust II. On appeal, the defendant contended that the trial justice abused his discretion when he granted the plaintiff's motion to dismiss for the reason that the defendant had failed to timely order transcripts. The Supreme Court held that the trial justice did not abuse his discretion in dismissing the defendant's appeal. Accordingly, the Court affirmed the order of the Superior Court dismissing the appeal.
