Connecticut Superior Court November 9, 1966, File No. 146110 (Millstone Point Co. v. Rutka)

The state of Connecticut filed a plea in abatement for the reason that the process is against the sovereign state of Connecticut or persons acting in their official capacity as officers of the state of Connecticut. Stephenson, Connecticut Civil Procedure § 36(d), (e) and (f), pages 78 and 79, states that the rule in the United States is that the state cannot be made a garnishee.
