Syllabus

The self-represented plaintiff, who had previously been convicted of murder, appealed from the judgment of the trial court dismissing his action against the defendant, the state of Connecticut, in which he sought, inter alia, declaratory and injunctive relief and punitive damages. The plaintiff claimed, inter alia, that the court improperly granted the state's motion to dismiss the action on the ground of sovereign immunity without permitting oral argument on the motion pursuant to the rule of practice (§ 11-18). Held: This court declined to review the plaintiff's inadequately briefed claims that the trial court improperly granted the state's motion to dismiss the action and did so without permitting oral argument on the motion. Argued December 10, 2024—officially released February 4, 2025
