The defendant's petition for certification for appeal from the Appellate Court, 136 Conn.App. 773, 51 A.3d 1121, is granted, limited to the following issues:
“1. Did the Appellate Court properly determine that the trial court's judgment was not based upon a finding of adulterous conduct on the part of the defendant?
“2. Did the Appellate Court properly determine that a contractual release of ‘any and all claims arising out of the plaintiffs investment in [Colonial Fund, LLC]’ did not include the plaintiff's claims for alimony arising from the plaintiff's investment in Colonial Fund, LLC?
“3. Did the Appellate Court properly determine that the standard of proof in civil contempt proceedings was the ‘preponderance of the evidence’ standard?”
