R.I. Sup. Ct. R. Art. I, R. 12

(a) Filing of the Record. Upon receipt of the record by the Clerk of the Supreme

Court following its timely transmittal, the Clerk shall file the record.

(b) Docketing the Appeal. Upon the filing of the record, the Clerk of the Supreme

Court shall thereupon enter the appeal upon the appropriate docket. The Clerk shall

immediately give notice to all parties that the appeal was docketed.

An appeal shall be docketed under the title given to the action in the trial court

with such addition as is necessary to indicate the identity of the appellant, appellee,

petitioner, or respondent. The parties shall notify the Clerk of the Supreme Court of

any inaccuracies in the titles assigned by the Clerk within seven (7) days after

receiving notice of the docketing of the appeal.

(c) Dismissal for Failure of Appellant to Cause Timely Transmission or to Docket

Appeal. If the appellant shall fail to cause timely transmission of the record, any

appellee may file a motion in the trial court to dismiss the appeal. Instead of filing a

motion to dismiss the appeal, the appellee may cause the record to be transmitted

and may docket the appeal, in which event the appeal shall proceed as if the appellant

had caused it to be docketed.

(d) Motions to Correct Record. Motions to correct the record as transmitted shall

be made within twenty (20) days after docketing, or within such further time as the

court or any justice thereof may order.
