Argued October 31, 1995
Decision released December 5, 1995
Action for the dissolution of a marriage, and for other relief, brought to the Superior Court in the judicial district of New Haven, where the defendant filed a counterclaim; thereafter, the matter was referred to Hon. Margaret C. Driscoll, state trial referee; judgment dissolving the marriage and granting certain other relief, from which the plaintiff appealed to this court; subsequently, the court, Bassick, J., granted the defendant's motion to find the plaintiff in contempt and ordered the plaintiff to make certain payments, and the plaintiff filed an amended appeal to this court. Affirmed.
James V. Somers, with whom, on the brief, were Suzanne L. McAlpine, and John J. Keefe, Jr., for the appellant (plaintiff).
James B. Streeto, for the appellee (defendant).
The plaintiff appeals from a judgment of dissolution. This appeal can best be categorized as a valiant but futile effort to retry the case in this court. No novel principles of law or appellate procedures are involved and to discuss the defendant's claim would serve no good purpose. See Byrne v. Trice, 170 Conn. 442, 365 A.2d 1063 (1976).
