AC46736 - Marciniszyn v. Board of Education ("The plaintiffs, Joshua Marciniszyn, who is self-represented, and his minor child D, by and through Marciniszyn as next friend, appeal from the trial court's denial of their petition for a bill of discovery (petition). On appeal, the plaintiffs argue that the court erred when it determined that they failed to establish probable cause for their claims that the defendants, the Board of Education of the Town of Southington and the town of Southington, had discriminated against D in violation of several federal civil rights laws. They also argue that the court improperly granted the defendants a continuance to file an objection to their petition and improperly limited the presentation of testimony at the hearing on the petition. We conclude that Marciniszyn lacked standing to bring this action in his individual capacity. We therefore reverse in part the court's judgment and remand the case with direction to dismiss the petition as to Marciniszyn in his individual capacity. We dismiss the appeal as to D because Marciniszyn lacks authority, as a self-represented nonattorney, to proceed in a representative capacity on D's behalf before this court.")
