Allyson v. Ritchie, No. Cv90 0107059s (Nov. 30, 1990)

[EDITOR'S NOTE: This case is unpublished as indicated by the issuing court.] MEMORANDUM OF DECISION RE: MOTION TO STRIKE Because count two of the complaint fails to allege sufficient facts to support a claim of recklessness, defendant's motion to strike is granted. Plaintiff has merely recharacterized her allegations of negligence (count one) as recklessness in count two. Further, her allegation that ! defendant's violation of Conn. Gen. Stat. 14-240 (a) was deliberate and with reckless disregard is merely a legal conclusion. For the count to stand, plaintiff must allege facts which establish a legal claim. The second court fails to so I claim.

Therefore, count two is stricken
