AC46504 - Aldin Associates Ltd. Partnership v. State ("The plaintiff, Aldin Associates Limited Partnership, which owns and operates gas stations where underground storage tanks for petroleum have been used, appeals from the judgment rendered by the trial court denying its request for a writ of mandamus against the defendants, the state of Connecticut and Katie Dykes, the Commissioner of Energy and Environmental Protection (commissioner), directing them to request the state comptroller (comptroller) to pay the plaintiff's approved applications that were submitted pursuant to an underground storage tank petroleum clean-up program administered by the defendants. On appeal, the plaintiff claims that the court improperly (1) denied its request for a writ of mandamus and (2) failed to shift the burden of proof to the defendants. We disagree with both claims and affirm the judgment of the court.")
