Civil Protection Order Appellate Court Opinions

by Greenlee, Rebecca

 

AC47655 - J. C.-S. v. J. G. ("The self-represented plaintiff, J. C.-S., appeals from the judgment of the trial court denying his application for a civil protection order against the defendant, J. G., pursuant to General Statutes § 46b-16a. The plaintiff’s claims on appeal distill into two parts, namely, whether the court (1) erred in ruling, in the absence of a motion for protective order, that the defendant and a nonparty witness were not required to testify or produce documents pursuant to subpoenas that had issued and had been served, and (2) violated the plaintiff’s right to self-representation by limiting the manner in which he was permitted to present evidence in support of his application. We decline to address the merits of these claims because the plaintiff has failed to provide this court with an adequate record. Thus, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.")

AC47525 - S. S. v. J. S. ("The defendant, J. S., appeals from the judgment of the trial court granting the motion filed by the self-represented plaintiff, S. S., to extend a restraining order issued against him pursuant to General Statutes § 46b-15. On appeal, the defendant claims that the court abused its discretion in extending the order because there was insufficient evidence that, at the time the plaintiff sought the extension, the defendant posed a continuous threat of present physical pain or physical injury to her. We affirm the judgment of the court.")
