in the Matter of the Marriage of Vicki Lynn Matthews and Jackie Wayne Matthews

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • holding that allegations that police pushed plaintiff to ground and smashed windows and doors did not constitute egregious conduct and, therefore, failed to state a claim under Article First, Sections Seven and Nine of the Connecticut Constitution
  • holding the officers’ conduct was not sufficiently egregious to warrant the availability of a private cause of action for a violation of the Connecticut Constitution, thereby narrowing the availability of the remedy
  • analyzing whether the facts alleged in the plaintiff’s complaint “are sufficiently egregious to allow him to pursue a separate tort action against the defendants” under Binette
  • “We are not persuaded that these allegations, if true, rise to the level of egregious misconduct. They are a far remove from the allegations of misconduct that underlay Binette.”
  • in the absence of any allegation other than the specific claim that the defendants acted in their official capacity, \the form in which the plaintiff cited the defendants does not matter\
  • “Apart from the illegality of the entry, the plaintiff complains of having been pushed to the ground on one occasion and of having windows and doors smashed on another occasion. We are not persuaded that these allegations, if true, rise to the legal of egregious misconduct.”
