    And (2) "[d]id the Appellate Court, in affirming the trial court's judgment, incorrectly determine, under the first prong of Golding , that the record was inadequate to review [Valerie's] unpreserved claim that she was denied the right to physically confront the witnesses against her at the virtual trial on the petition to terminate her parental rights, in violation of the due process clause of the fourteenth amendment to the United States constitution?" In re Annessa J. , 338 Conn. 904, 904–905, 258 A.3d 674 (2021). The petitioner filed a petition for certification to cross appeal, which we granted, limited to the following issue: "Did the Appellate Court properly expand the standard set forth in In re Ava W. , [supra, 336 Conn. 545, 248 A.3d 675 ], for deciding motions for posttermination visitation beyond the question of whether, under ... § 46b-121 (b) (1), such visitation is ‘necessary or appropriate’ to secure the welfare of the child?"

  2. In re Lucia C.

    The respondent also claims on appeal that the court (1) violated his right to an "in person trial" by conducting a portion of the proceedings over the Microsoft Teams platform, rather than conducting the trial in court and in person, and (2) violated his right to due process of law by precluding him from physically confronting witnesses in court and in person when it conducted a portion of the proceedings over the Microsoft Teams platform. These claims are virtually identical to the claims that this court rejected in In re Annessa J. , 206 Conn. App. 572, 584–88, 260 A.3d 1253, cert. granted, 338 Conn. 904, 258 A.3d 674 (2021), cert. granted, 338 Conn. 905, 258 A.3d 675 (2021), and cert. granted, 338 Conn. 906, 258 A.3d 90 (2021). Although we note that our Supreme Court has granted certification to appeal in In re Annessa J ., "prior to a final determination of the cause by our Supreme Court, a decision of this court is binding precedent on this court."
