Lombardi v. City of Providence
Annotate this CasePlaintiff fell and was injured on a sidewalk in the City of Providence. Plaintiff filed suit against the City and the State, alleging that it negligently failed to maintain or repair the sidewalk. The City moved for summary judgment, alleging that it did not owe a duty to Plaintiff because the State was responsible for the maintenance and repair of the sidewalk. In response, the State argued that a genuine issue of material fact existed as to whether the State or the city bore responsibility to maintain the sidewalk. The trial court granted summary judgment in favor of the City. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that because the State did not assert a cross-claim against City, it was not sufficiently aggrieved by the entry of summary judgment in favor of the City on Plaintiff's claim to appeal from the superior court's judgment.
