State v. Plummer

Citations: 157 Conn. 592; 251 A.2d 84

Court: Supreme Court of Connecticut; November 20, 1968; Connecticut; State Supreme Court

Narrative Opinion Summary

The defendant's motion for review of the Circuit Court's denial of her application for a waiver of fees, costs, and security was denied on July 26, 1967, in the case of State v. Plummer. The opportunity for reargument has elapsed, as outlined in Practice Book 703. The current motion fails to acknowledge that the review sought should have been within the jurisdiction of the Appellate Division of the Circuit Court, per General Statutes 51-265 and Practice Book 740. Consequently, the motion for reargument and the request for clarification of the decision on the motion for review are both denied.
