Syllabus

Mark Quillen (plaintiff), appealed from a Superior Court judgment in favor of Mary Macera (defendant), the beneficiary of an Amica Insurance Company annuity policy created by Domenic Zubiago (Mr. Zubiago), the plaintiff's great-uncle and the defendant's brother. The plaintiff argued that the trial justice misconstrued his theory of the case and applied the wrong law to the evidence, overlooked and misconceived material evidence, erroneously failed to take judicial notice of the findings made by another Superior Court justice, and erroneously refused to shift the burden of proof. The Supreme Court discerned no error and affirmed the judgment of the Superior Court.
