• 201 Conn. App. 376

Syllabus

The plaintiff, the state of Connecticut, sought reimbursement from the defen- dant, pursuant to statute (§18-85a) and the applicable regulation (§ 18- 85a-2), for the cost of his incarceration after he had served a sentence for his conviction of certain crimes. The trial court granted the state's application for a prejudgment remedy to attach certain of the defendant's assets and thereafter granted the state's motion for summary judgment. The court rejected the defendant's claims that, inter alia, the assessed cost of his incarceration was based on an unreliable calculation and that his right to equal protection was violated because the state had not sought reimbursement for incarceration costs from other inmates. The trial court thereafter rendered judgment for the state, and the defen- dant appealed to this court, raising many of the same arguments that he raised in the trial court. Held that, after applying the well established principles that govern the review of a trial court's decision to grant a motion for summary judgment, this court affirmed the judgment of the trial court and adopted its well reasoned decision as a proper statement of the facts and the applicable law on the issues.
