Argued October 11, 1988
Decision released January 18, 1989
Action to enjoin the defendant from continuing to encumber the title to certain of the plaintiffs' real property, and for other relief, brought to the Superior Court in the judicial district of Ansonia-Milford and referred to Hon. Joseph J. Chernauskas, state trial referee; judgment in favor of the plaintiffs, from which the defendant appealed to this court. No error.
Anthony M. Guerrera, for the appellant (defendant).
Ronald M. Stark, with whom was Peter R. Stark, for the appellees (plaintiffs).
This action arose out of a contract by which the defendant agreed to purchase certain real estate from the plaintiff. The trial court found that the defendant had breached the contract and, by mandatory injunction, ordered him to terminate an encumbrance on the plaintiff's title by removing the sales agreement from the Bethany land records.
We have carefully considered each of the defendant's claims of error including a plenary review of the record, transcript and briefs of both parties. The defendant, as the appellant, has the burden of showing that there was error in the judgment from which the appeal was taken. Manzin v. United Bank Trust Co., 6 Conn. App. 513, 517, 506 A.2d 169 (1986); B. Holden J. Daly, Connecticut Evidence 60i. After affording the claims of error the appropriate scope of review, we find that the defendant has not met his burden.
