Fuller Mill Realty, LLC v. Rhode Island Department of Revenue Division of Taxation

Syllabus

The defendant, the Rhode Island Department of Revenue Division of Taxation (the Division) sought review of the April 11, 2022 order of the District Court denying the Division's motion to dismiss the appeal to that court that was filed by Fuller Mill Realty, LLC (Fuller Mill). The Division contended that the hearing judge erred in denying its motion to dismiss because (1) he ignored the terms of the settlement agreement and (2) he \wrongfully found that [Fuller Mill] was entitled to an administrative hearing\ before the Division. The Supreme Court concluded that a stipulation signed by the parties was unambiguous and was controlling and that it waived any rights to an administrative hearing or an appeal to the court which Fuller Mill might otherwise have been able to assert. Accordingly, the order of the District Court denying the Division's motion to dismiss was quashed, and the case was remanded to the District Court with directions that it enter an order dismissing the case.
