CUTLER, C. J.

JUDGMENT

Plaintiff Robert A. Borawski filed a Complaint in this court on May 8, 2014, seeking to quiet title to a vacant, one acre parcel of land in Hadley Massachusetts (the "Subject Parcel"), in the face of adverse possession assertions made by Defendants Edward J. Gralinski, Jr. and Diane Gralinski. In response to Borawski's Complaint, the Defendants counterclaimed for adverse possession of the parcel.

A trial was conducted on March 20, 2017. The Parties stipulated to fifteen statements of fact and to the admission of thirty-two (32) agreed exhibits. But only the Plaintiff testified. Following receipt of the trial transcripts and the parties' respective proposed findings of fact and rulings of law, the court took the matter under advisement on May 1, 2017. Now, in accordance with the findings of fact and rulings of law set forth in the Decision, dated July 17, 2018 and issued herewith, it is hereby:

ORDERED and ADJUDGED that Plaintiffs' G.L. c. 240, ยงยง 6-10 (quiet title) claims are DISMISSED; and it is further

ORDERED, ADJUDGED, and DECLARED that the Defendants have not acquired title to the Subject Parcel by adverse possession.

SO ORDERED.
