Because the facts averred in the respondent's petition do not constitute newly discovered evidence within the meaning of § 52-270, we affirm the judgment of the trial court. See In re Madison C. , 201 Conn. App. 184, 241 A.3d 756, cert. denied, 335 Conn. 985, 242 A.3d 480 (2020).

Alina Bricklin-Goldstein, assistant attorney general, in opposition.The petition by the respondent mother for certification to appeal from the Appellate Court, 201 Conn. App. 184, ––– A.3d –––– (2020), is denied.

The record is therefore inadequate to review the claim.See In re Azareon Y., 309 Conn. 626, 637, 72 A.3d 1074 (2013) ("the record must reflect whether there is a valid alternative permanency plan to termination and adoption"); see also In re Skylar B., 204 Conn. App. 729, 745, 254 A.3d 928 (2021); In re Riley B., 203 Conn. App. 627, 639, 248 A.3d 756, cert. denied, 336 Conn. 943, 250 A.3d 40 (2021); In re Madison C., 201 Conn. App. 184, 194, 241 A.3d 756, cert. denied, 335 Conn. 985, 242 A.3d 480 (2020); In re Julianna B., 141 Conn. App. 163, 171, 61 A.3d 606, cert. denied, 310 Conn. 908, 76 A.3d 625 (2013).
