Steigert v. Steigert

Appellate Court of Connecticut
Dec 12, 1995
667 A.2d 808 (Conn. App. Ct. 1995)

Opinion

(13612)

Argued October 31, 1995

Decision released December 12, 1995

Action for the dissolution of a marriage, and for other relief, brought to the Superior Court in the judicial district of New Haven and tried to the court, Doherty, J.; judgment dissolving the marriage and granting certain other relief; thereafter, the court denied the defendant's motion to open and set aside the judgment, and the defendant appealed to this court. Affirmed.

Kathleen M. Harkins, for the appellant (defendant).

James R. Greenfield, with whom, on the brief, was Janet M. Degnan, for the appellee (plaintiff).


The plaintiff appeals from a judgment denying a motion to open. Counsel for the defendant on appeal was trial counsel and this appeal can best be categorized as a valiant but futile effort to retry the case in this court. No novel principles of law or appellate procedures are involved and to discuss seriatim the defendant's numerous claims would serve no good purpose. See Byrne v. Trice, 170 Conn. 442, 442-43, 365 A.2d 1063 (1976).
