Criminal Law Appellate Court Opinion

by Townsend, Karen

 

AC47066 - Ramos v. State (“The self-represented plaintiff, Jose Ramos, who previously had been convicted of murder in violation of General Statutes § 53a-54a and sentenced to sixty years of imprisonment, appeals from the judgment of the trial court dismissing his action against the defendant, the state of Connecticut (state), in which he sought declaratory and injunctive relief, punitive damages, and to have his conviction vacated and a new criminal trial. On appeal, he claims that the court improperly (1) granted the state’s motion to dismiss the action and (2) did so without oral argument on the motion. We conclude that the plaintiff’s claims are inadequately briefed and, thus, decline to review them. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the court.”)
