STATE of Connecticut v. GERALD J.

Matthew D. Dyer, Bristol, with whom were Kristen Mostowy, and Sydney Mazur, certified legal intern, for the appellant (defendant). James M.

PER CURIAM.

Matthew D. Dyer, Bristol, with whom were Kristen Mostowy, and Sydney Mazur, certified legal intern, for the appellant (defendant).

James M. Ralls, assistant state's attorney, with whom, on the brief, were Sharmese Walcott, state's attorney, and Edward Naurus, former assistant state's attorney, for the appellee (state).

PER CURIAM. The defendant, Gerald J., appeals from his conviction of sexual assault in the first degree and risk of injury to a child involving a relative. After this case was argued, however, defense counsel notified this court that the defendant died on or about March 3, 2022. Because defense counsel did not request any specific disposition of this appeal as a result of the defendant's death, we dismiss the appeal as moot, consistent with the past precedent of our Supreme Court. See State v. Graham , 337 Conn. 857, 858, 256 A.3d 151 (2021), and cases cited therein.

The appeal is dismissed.
