AC39463 - State v. Hearl (Cruelty to animals; "The defendant, Michael A. Hearl, appeals from the judgment of conviction, rendered following a jury trial, on nineteen counts of animal cruelty in violation of General Statutes § 53-247 (a). The defendant claims that (1) the evidence adduced at trial was insufficient to sustain his conviction, (2) the trial court did not provide the jury with a proper instruction on the required mental state to prove a violation of § 53-247 (a), (3) § 53-247 (a) is unconstitutionally vague as applied to his conduct, and (4) his conviction and sentencing on nineteen separate counts of animal cruelty violates the constitutional prohibitions against double jeopardy. We affirm the judgment of the trial court.")
AC39172 - Lynn v. Bosco ("This case is about the propriety of a judicial remedy binding
a company that had been cited in as a party by the plaintiffs, Jack E. Lynn and
Jeffrey Lynn, for notice purposes only and against whom no allegations had been
pleaded. The defendant Aerospace Techniques, Inc. (company), appeals from the
January 11, 2016 judgment of the trial court ordering the company to pay the
owners of 141 shares of treasury stock issued to the defendants Clyde E.
Warner, Robert J. Bosco, Sr. (Bosco), Anthony Parillo, Jr., and Richard B.
Polivy in exchange for the return of the 141 shares to the company. The company
claims that the trial court acted beyond the scope of its authority by entering
an order that imposed a remedy on the company, although neither party made any
allegations against or sought relief from the company in the operative
complaint. We agree and, accordingly, reverse the judgment of the trial court.")
AC40123 - Tedesco v. Agolli ("The defendants, Resmije Agolli and Fikri Development, LLC (Fikri), appeal from the judgment of foreclosure by sale rendered in favor of the substitute plaintiff, Scott Tedesco, trustee of the Heritage Builders of Waterbury, LLC, 401 (k) Profit Sharing Plan. On appeal, the defendants challenge the trial court's findings with respect to the dates of disassociation and removal of Gina Antonios as member and Joseph Antonios as manager of Fikri. The defendants also claim that the court improperly found that Agolli, as a member of Fikri, had the authority to bind Fikri to the mortgage at issue in the present case.")
AC38829 - Perez v. University of Connecticut (Negligence; "The issue in this appeal is whether the plaintiff Christian Perez has the right to a jury trial in a negligence action for monetary damages against the defendant, the state of Connecticut. The plaintiff was authorized to bring his action against the state by the General Assembly pursuant to General Statutes § 4-159 (b) (1) (B) (ii). Following a trial to the court, judgment was rendered in favor of the state. The plaintiff now appeals from the judgment, claiming that the court improperly granted the state's motion to strike his action from the jury list. We affirm the judgment of the court.")
