Albanese v. Town of Narragansett
Annotate this CasePlaintiff filed a multi-count complaint against Defendants - the Town of Narragansett, the treasurer for the town, the town police department, and two police officers - alleging, among other things, assault and battery, false arrest, and gross negligence or misconduct. The superior court ultimately entered summary judgment in favor of Defendants. Plaintiff appealed and further appealed the denial of multiple pretrial motions. The Supreme Court (1) vacated the judgment of the superior court with respect to its grant of summary judgment on Plaintiff’s claim of assault and battery, holding that the assault and battery claim was not fit for resolution by summary judgment; and (2) otherwise affirmed, holding that none of Plaintiff’s other claims withstood summary judgment and that there was no error in the denial of Plaintiff’s pretrial motions.
