AC42609 - Jacques v. Commissioner of Energy & Environmental Protection (Administrative appeal; injunction; motion to dismiss; whether trial court erred in determining that plaintiff failed to allege facts sufficient to establish standing under applicable statute (§ 22a-16); "The plaintiff, Kathleen Jacques, brought the action underlying this appeal against the defendants, Robert Klee, the Commissioner of Energy and Environmental Protection (commissioner), and Benjamin Barnes, Secretary of the Office of Policy and Management (secretary). The plaintiff sought, inter alia, a permanent injunction prohibiting the defendants from taking further action with respect to a plan to redevelop Seaside State Park in Waterford and an order precluding the defendants from "further denying . . . her statutory rights" to intervene in public hearings related to the redevelopment project. The plaintiff appeals from the judgment of the trial court granting the defendants' motion to dismiss on the ground of sovereign immunity and concluding that she failed to demonstrate that an exception to sovereign immunity applied. On appeal, the plaintiff claims that the court (1) erred in determining that she failed to allege facts sufficient to establish her statutory standing under General Statutes § 22a-16, (2) utilized an improper standard in construing the complaint's allegations under the sovereign immunity exceptions for state actions in violation of the plaintiff's constitutional rights and for state actions in excess of its authority, (3) erred when it concluded that the allegations of the complaint did not come within the exception to sovereign immunity for state actions alleged in violation of constitutional rights, (4) erred when it held that the allegations of the complaint did not come within the exception to sovereign immunity for a substantial allegation of wrongful conduct to promote an illegal purpose in excess of a state officer's statutory authority, and (5) erred when it ruled that the scoping process/review of the environmental impact evaluation was not a "proceeding" for purposes of intervention under General Statutes § 22a-19. We affirm the judgment of the trial court.")
