Family Law Appellate Court Opinion

by Oumano, Emily

 

AC46564 - J. R. v. N. K. (“The plaintiff, J. R., appeals from the trial court’s order dismissing his application for relief from abuse seeking the issuance of a domestic violence restraining order against the defendant, N. K. On appeal, the plaintiff claims that the trial court improperly (1) concluded that the defendant was not exercising coercive control and/or stalking the plaintiff, (2) denied the plaintiff his federal and state right to equal protection, and (3) dismissed the plaintiff’s application for failure to prosecute with reasonable diligence. We disagree with the plaintiff as to the first two claims but conclude that the form of the judgment is improper. We therefore remand this case with direction to dismiss the plaintiff’s application for failure to establish a prima facie case pursuant to Practice Book § 15-8.")
