Argued May 5, 1994
Decision released May 31, 1994
Action for the dissolution of a marriage, and for other relief, brought to the Superior Court in the judicial district of Hartford-New Britain at New Britain and referred to Hon. Samuel S. Googel, state trial referee; judgment dissolving the marriage and granting certain other relief; thereafter, the court, Hon. Julius J. Kremski, state trial referee, granted the plaintiff's motion for modification of child support and the plaintiff appealed to this court. Affirmed.
Thomas W. Conlin, with whom was Alfred F. Morrocco, Jr., for the appellant (plaintiff).
Allen J. Segal, for the appellee (defendant).
This is an appeal from the judgment of the trial court modifying an order of child support.
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 956 (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. We, therefore, decline to review this matter.
