Appellate Procedure

Defendant appealed the decision of the Appeals Panel sustaining the violations of R.I.G.L. 1956 § 31-23-1(b) (inspection of motor carriers), R.I.G.L. 1956 § 31-23-27 (rear wheel flaps required), R.I.G.L. 1956 § 31-23-43 (wheel safety chocks), and R.I.G.L. 1956 § 31-47-9 (penalties). The District Court held there where the defendant did not appear before the Appeals Panel to argue its case, and did not provide the Appeals Panel with a transcript, the Court was correct to sustain the charge against the defendant. Accordingly, the Court affirmed the decision of the Appeals Panel sustaining the violations against the defendant.
