Decision released January 20, 1987
Appeal from a decision by the commission on human rights and opportunities dismissing the plaintiff's claim of employment discrimination against the named defendant, brought to the Superior Court in the judicial district of Hartford-New Britain at Hartford, where the court, Satter, J., granted the named defendant's motion to dismiss and rendered judgment thereon, from which the plaintiff appealed to this court. No error.
Igor I. Sikorsky, Jr., filed a brief for the appellant (plaintiff).
Robert A. White and Dina Plapler filed a brief for the appellee (named defendant).
The sole question presented to us is whether, when an appeal is taken from a ruling of an administrative agency, the appellant's service upon the hearing officer instead of the commissioner of the agency invokes the jurisdiction of the Superior Court. The answer is no. See Board of Education v. Department of Education, 198 Conn. 445, 449-50, 503 A.2d 1147 (1986); Village Creek Homeowners Assn. v. Public Utilities Commission, 148 Conn. 336, 339, 170 A.2d 732 (1961); Atkins v. Bridgeport Hydraulic Co., 5 Conn. App. 643, 645, 501 A.2d 1223 (1985); Catholic Family Community Services v.
