Holyoke Mutual Insurance v. Papa

534 A.2d 917, 13 Conn. App. 808, 1987 Conn. App. LEXIS 1167

Opinion

Per Curiam.

On June 30,1986, the plaintiff filed an appeal from an order of the trial court granting the defendants’ motion for a protective order. On August 29, 1986, the plaintiff amended its appeal to include a claim that the trial court erred in granting the defendants’ motion for judgment on August 25,1986. Because we find that the trial court’s order granting the defendants’ motion for a protective order was not an appeal-able final judgment we dismiss the case for lack of jurisdiction. State v. Curdo, 191 Conn. 27, 31, 463 A.2d 566 (1983); American Factors, Inc. v. Foreign Intrigue, Inc., 6 Conn. App. 656, 658, 506 A.2d 1085, cert. denied, 201 Conn. 802, 513 A.2d 696 (1986) (when an appeal is jurisdictionally defective the defect cannot be cured by an amended appeal filed after judgment has entered).

The appeal is dismissed.
