Andre Howell, in his capacity as Treasurer of the Urban League of Rhode Island, Inc. v. Urban League of Rhode Island, Inc.

Syllabus

The appellant, Julie Longtin, appealed from a September 9, 2022 order of the Superior Court denying her motion based on Rule 60(b) of the Superior Court Rules of Civil Procedure, in which she sought relief from a June 30, 2022 order that denied her proof of claim in a receivership proceeding on the grounds that she lacked standing. Ms. Longtin contended before this Court that the hearing justice erred in denying her Rule 60(b) motion because (1) the hearing justice overlooked and misconceived the evidence and (2) because the hearing justice \misapplied\ the statute at issue (G.L. 1956 § 34 49 3), construing it in a manner that resulted in \an absurd result.\ <br><br>The Supreme Court concluded that the hearing justice did not abuse his discretion when he denied the appellant's Rule 60(b) motion. Accordingly, the Court affirmed the order of the Superior Court denying the Rule 60(b) motion.<br>
