DOCKET NO. (X06) UWY-CV21-5028294-S NANCY BURTON : SUPERIOR COURT Plaintiff : : COMPLEX LITIGATION v. : DOCKET : AT WATERBURY DAVID PHILIP MASON, Et Al. : Defendants : OCTOBER 15, 2021 OBJECTION TO MOTION FOR CLARIFICATION (ENTRY NO. 222.00) Defendants, State of Connecticut Department of Agriculture (“Department”), Bryan P. Hurlburt, Commissioner of Agriculture (“Commissioner”), and Charles DellaRocco, State Animal Control Officer (hereinafter referred to collectively as “State Defendants”) hereby object to Plaintiff’s Motion for Clarification – Court Order (Entry No. 222.00). Plaintiff seeks clarification of the order of the Court (Entry No. 191.20; Bellis, J.) denying her Motion for Order – Leave to Serve (Entry No. 191.00), on September 30, 2021. 1 Motions for interpretation or clarification are commonly considered by courts and may be granted at the discretion of the court. See Clark v. Clark, 150 Conn. App. 551, 570 (2014) (citing Holcombe v. Holcombe, 22 Conn. App. 363, 366, 576 A.2d 1317 (1990). "[T]he purpose of a clarification is to take a prior statement, decision or order and make it easier to understand. Motions for clarification, therefore, may be appropriate where there is an ambiguous term in a judgment or decision.” Bologna v. Bologna, Docket No. AC 43848, 2021 Conn. App. LEXIS 357, at *17 (App. Oct. 1, 2021) (quoting Almeida v. Almeida, 190 Conn. App. 760, 765-67 1 In fact, Plaintiff’s Motion for Clarification actually seeks to solicit guidance from the court “to inform Plaintiff as to what step(s) to take” to provide the Court with personal jurisdiction upon two State Defendants in their individual capacity. (2019). The Court unambiguously denied Plaintiff’s Motion for Order. There is no clarification warranted as there cannot be an alternate interpretation of the Court’s order that Plaintiff’s Motion for Order be “DENIED.” (Entry No. 191.20; Bellis, J.). For all the foregoing reasons, this Motion for Clarification should be DENIED. DEFENDANTS STATE OF CONNECTICUT DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE BRYAN P.
