Civil Rights Law Appellate Court Opinion

by Agati, Taryn

 

AC48427Richardson v. Semple ("The American Civil Liberties Union Foundation of Connecticut (ACLU) appeals from the judgment of the trial court denying its motion to intervene in this action for the limited purpose of litigating the issue of whether a certain video recording filed as an exhibit to a memorandum of law in support of a motion for summary judgment filed by the defendants, various employees of the Department of Correction (DOC), should be sealed pursuant to Practice Book § 11-20A. We conclude that the ACLU does not have a colorable claim of intervention as of right and, therefore, is not appealing from a final judgment. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.")
