Elgo, Devlin and Harper, Js.
PER CURIAM. In this postjudgment marital dissolution matter, the defendant, H. F., appeals from the judgment of the trial court denying her request for leave to file a motion to modify custody and visitation of the parties' minor child. The trial court denied the defendant's request for leave to file a motion to modify on the ground that she failed to allege facts sufficient to constitute a substantial change in circumstances, and, further, that her motion simply reiterated allegations that she previously had presented to the court. On the basis of our careful and thorough review of the record, we cannot conclude that the trial court erred in so holding.
Because the defendant had a history of filing motions for contempt and/or modification "without sufficient cause or without alleging a substantial change in circumstance[s]," the trial court issued an order on July 19, 2017, requiring the defendant to seek leave of the court pursuant to Practice Book § 25-26 (g), prior to filing further motions.

The judgment is affirmed.
