Stanley v. State

Syllabus

The petitioner, who had previously been convicted of, inter alia, criminal violation of a protective order, appealed from the trial court's judgment granting the respondents' motions to dismiss and to strike his petition for a new trial. Held: This court dismissed the petitioner's appeal from the trial court's judgment granting the respondents' motions to dismiss and to strike, as the petitioner never sought certification to appeal as required by the statute (§ 54-95 (a)) governing an appeal taken from a judgment denying a petition for a new trial.
