Argued April 4, 1994
Decision released May 17, 1994
Action to recover moneys owed the plaintiff for medical services rendered to the defendant, brought to the Superior Court in the judicial district of New Haven and tried to the court, Vertefeuille, J.; judgment for the defendant, from which the plaintiff appealed to this court. Affirmed.
Sung-Ho Hwang, for the appellant (plaintiff).
Charles Sartell, pro se, the appellee (defendant).
This is an appeal by the plaintiff from the judgment of the trial court, following a court trial, rendered in favor of the defendant.
The plaintiff has failed to present either a written memorandum of decision or a transcribed copy of an oral decision signed by the court, stating its decision on the issues in the case and, if there were factual findings, the factual basis for its decision. The plaintiff, as appellant, has the responsibility to provide this court with an adequate record for review. Practice Book 4061; DeMilo v. West Haven, 189 Conn. 671, 681, 458 A.2d 362 (1983); Holmes v. Holmes, 32 Conn. App. 317, 319, 629 A.2d 1137, cert. denied, 228 Conn. 902, 634 A.2d 295 (1993); Connecticut Bank Trust Co., N.A. v. Linsky, 32 Conn. App. 13, 15, 627 A.2d 954 (1993); Augeri v. Planning Zoning Commission, 24 Conn. App. 172, 178, 586 A.2d 635, cert. denied, 218 Conn. 904, 588 A.2d 1381 (1991). "This court recently noted that we cannot render a decision without first having `specific findings of fact to determine the basis of the court's ruling.' State v. Rios, 30 Conn. App. 712, 715, 622 A.2d 618 (1993)." Gelormino v. Blaustein, 31 Conn. App. 750, 751, 626 A.2d 1325 (1993). We have consistently stated that it is the responsibility of the appellant to provide an adequate record for review and we see no reason to depart from that rule.
