Held: This court, having reviewed the record in the case and having carefully considered the defendant’s claims on appeal, concluded that those claims had no merit.

Opinion PER CURIAM. In this summary process action with respect to real property located at 44 Guilford Street in Hartford, the defendant, Thaddeus Taylor, appeals from the judgment of immediate possession rendered by the trial court in favor of the plaintiffs, Charlene Taylor and Elizabeth Taylor, the coadministrators of the estate of Charles Taylor, Jr. The defendant claims on appeal that the court improperly denied his motion to dismiss wherein he argued, inter alia, that the plaintiffs Taylor v. Taylor lacked standing because they were not the owners of the property. The defendant also claims that the court vio- lated his constitutional rights to due process and a fair trial by not resolving his discovery issues and denying his subpoenas of witnesses and abused its discretion in denying his motion for a continuance of the trial date.

We have reviewed the record in this case and have care- fully considered the defendant’s claims on appeal and conclude that those claims have no merit.

The judgment is affirmed.
