Supreme Court of Connecticut

Schoenhorn v. Moss

August 8, 2023347 Conn. 501

Summary

The concurrence agrees that the plaintiff cannot obtain mandamus relief because the action is an impermissible collateral attack on another court's sealing order. It questions, however, whether that defect is properly characterized as mootness, nonjusticiability, or lack of subject matter jurisdiction, rather than as a prudential limitation on the court's authority to grant relief. Because those questions were not briefed, the concurrence would leave them for a future case while affirming the dismissal.
