AC47461 -
Drummer v. State (“In this action for a declaratory judgment and
injunctive relief, the plaintiff, Gloria Drummer, appeals from the judgment of
the trial court denying her motion for summary judgment and granting the motion
for summary judgment filed by the defendants, the state of Connecticut, the
Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services, Connecticut Valley Hospital,
Whiting Forensic Hospital, Greater Bridgeport Community Mental Health Center,
Connecticut Mental Health Center, and Capital Region Mental Health Center. On
appeal, the plaintiff claims that the court improperly (1) rendered summary
judgment in favor of the defendants and (2) denied her motion for class
certification. We do not reach the merits of these claims because, for reasons
that follow, we conclude that the plaintiff lacked the requisite standing to
assert her claims before the trial court. Accordingly, we reverse the judgment
of the trial court only as to the form of the judgment and remand the case with
direction to dismiss the action.”)
