eviction. The proper remedy for a party aggrieved by a judgment for trespass and eviction pursuant to § 34-18-35 is to file an appeal with the Superior Court pursuant to § 34-18-47, which directs a litigant to bring appeals under G.L.1956 § 9-12-10.1. Section 9-12-10.1 provides that “[i]n any civil action pursuant to chapter 18 of title 34, in the district court or other appropriate court, any party may cause the case to be removed for trial * * * by claiming an appeal * * * within five (5) days after the judgment is entered * * The plaintiff missed this deadline, thus waiving his right to appeal the eviction. Therefore, the Superior Court trial justice was correct to rule that she lacked jurisdiction to consider plaintiffs allegations.
