Argued September 24, 1991
Decision released October 22, 1991
Action for the dissolution of a marriage, and for other relief, brought to the Superior Court in the judicial district of Stamford-Norwalk and tried to the court, Tierney, J.; judgment dissolving the marriage and granting certain other relief; thereafter, the court, Novack, J., granted the plaintiff's motion to open and modify the judgment and rendered Judgment modifying certain financial orders; subsequently, the court, Hauser, J., found the defendant in contempt, and the defendant appealed to this court. Appeal dismissed.
William C. Bieluch, Jr., for the appellant (defendant).
Victoria deToledo, with whom, on the brief, was Joseph N. Varon, for the appellee (plaintiff).
The defendant appeals following the trial court's action finding him in contempt. The defendant attempts to challenge a portion of the dissolution decree requiring him to execute a will naming the plaintiff and the parties' two minor children as sole beneficiaries of his estate. Our review of the record and counsel's representations at oral argument lead us to conclude that the trial court in the contempt proceeding, in fact, imposed no contempt order relating to the will. Since a contempt order is the vehicle by which this appeal comes to us, it is clear that, there being no contempt order on the issue before us, there can be no appeal on that issue.
