Gadomski v. Taveres
Annotate this CasePetitioner filed an application for a license to carry a concealed weapon. The Chief of Police for the City of East Providence denied the application. Petitioner sought review of the denial of his application pursuant to the Administrative Procedures Act and later added a request for mandamus relief. The superior court dismissed the action, determining that it lacked subject matter jurisdiction to entertain Petitioner’s appeal. Petitioner subsequently filed a petition for writ of certiorari with the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court granted the petition and quashed the decision denying Petitioner’s application for a license to carry a concealed weapon, holding (1) the Chief of Police's conclusions for denying the license were either insufficient or incorrect; and (2) the license denial could not properly be predicated on remote events resulting in Petitioner’s arrest on charges that were ultimately dismissed.
