Cynthia Boss v. Christine Chamberland, in her capacity as Finance Director for the City of Woonsocket and the Woonsocket School Department

Syllabus

The plaintiff, Cynthia Boss, appealed from the Superior Court's entry of final judgment in favor of the defendants, which motion was granted on the basis that the plaintiff had failed to comply with her discovery obligations. On appeal, the plaintiff averred that the hearing justice: (1) erred in not allowing her to \discuss or present either of her two [recent filings]\ and (2) \exhibited extreme bias\ in favor of the defendants. The Supreme Court held that the hearing justice did not abuse her discretion in conducting the hearing on the motion for entry of final judgment or in granting that motion. Moreover, the Court held that there was not the slightest indication of bias on the part of the hearing justice. Accordingly, the Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the Superior Court.
