  The Attorney General sought to intervene in Superior Court, arguing that “[t]his
proceeding involves ‘a trustee who holds in trust within the state property given,
devised, or bequeathed for charitable, educational, or religious purposes, and who
administers or is under a duty to administer the property in whole or in part for these
purposes within the state’ and therefore the Attorney General ‘shall be deemed to be
an interested party to the judicial proceedings.’” (Quoting G.L. 1956 § 18-9-5.) The
trial justice denied the Attorney General’s motion to intervene as of right and granted
the Attorney General’s motion to intervene permissively. We note that the question
of whether or not the property is held in trust is not at issue before this Court and
will not be addressed further. Accordingly, the Attorney General, on April 18, 2024,
filed with this Court a notice of intent not to file any position on this appeal.
