Description
Submitted on briefs September 12 The plaintiff, Jeffrey Williams, appeals from the judgment of the trial court upholding the suspension of his operator's license for one year for operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of intoxicating liquor or drugs pursuant to General Statutes § 14-111c and General Statutes (Rev. to 1997) § 14227a (h) (1) (C). On appeal, the plaintiff claims that (1) the court lacked subject matter jurisdiction over the case, (2) the suspension of his license for one year was improper and (3) the defendant commissioner of motor vehicles (commissioner) improperly applied Connecticut law. We affirm the judgment of the trial court. The plaintiff was arrested in New Hampshire for, and subsequently pleaded guilty to, operating a motor vehicle in that state while under the influence of intoxicating liquor. Pursuant to the nationwide driver license compact (compact), which is codified in Connecticut in § 14-111c, officials in the state of New Hampshire notified the commissioner of the plaintiff's conviction. A hearing was held, and the commissioner suspended the plaintiff's license for one year pursuant to §§ 14111c, art. IV (a), 1 and 14-227a (h) (1) (C). 2 Following the plaintiff's appeal, the court upheld the commissioner's decision and dismissed the appeal. This appeal followed.
