Appeal No. 74-106.
Walter E. Proffit v. Municipal Hearing Board of the City of Providence.
Alton W. Wiley, for plaintiff. Louis A. Mascia, City Solicitor, for defendant.

Opinion:
Supreme Court has no jurisdiction to entertain a police officer's appeal from a Superior Court judgment upholding a decision of an appropriate municipal hearing board finding him guilty of violating a departmental regulation and suspending him from the department. Simmons v. Town Council, 112 R. I. 522, 524-25, 312 A.2d 725, 726-27 (1973). Accordingly, the plaintiff's appeal is denied and dismissed.
