Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

William H. Hescock, for the appellants (plaintiffs).

Ann-Marie DeGraffenreidt, assistant attorney general, with whom were Robert B. Teitelman and Henry S. Cohn, assistant attorneys general, and, on the brief, Clarine Nardi Riddle, acting attorney general, Joseph I. Lieberman, former attorney general, and Robert E. Walsh, assistant attorney general, for the appellee (named defendant).

William S. Bingham, for the appellees (defendant Eastern Pequot Indians et al.).

BORDEN, SPALLONE and DALY, JS.


DALY, J.

The plaintiffs appeal to this court from the judgment of the trial court dismissing their appeal from the decision of the named defendant, the Connecticut Indian Affairs Council (CIAC). The trial court dismissed the plaintiffs' administrative appeal on the ground that they were not aggrieved and therefore lacked standing to pursue that appeal. We find error and hold that the plaintiffs have standing to appeal.
