The named defendant's petition for certification to appeal from the Appellate Court, 202 Conn. App. 540, 246 A.3d 4 (AC 40959), is granted, limited to the following issue:

"Did the Appellate Court correctly conclude that the named defendant's challenge to the plaintiff's standing to prosecute this action, and, thus, the trial court's subject matter jurisdiction to adjudicate the matter, represented an improper collateral attack on one or more of the earlier judgments rendered by the trial court in favor of the plaintiff?"
