Danbury, Truglia, J.)
DanielE. Casagrande andLisaM. Rivas filed abrief for the appellants (plaintiffs). ChristopherRooney andBrianA. Daley filed a brief for the appellee (named defendant).
DavidF. Bennett filed abriefforthe appellee (defendant Century 21 Scalzo Realty, Inc.)Opinion PER CURIAM. Inthis action to foreclose areal estate broker’s lien, the plaintiffs, The Reserve Realty, LLC (Reserve Realty) andTheodoreHaddad, Sr., asexecutor ofthe estate ofJeanette Haddad, appeal from thejudgment rendered by the trial court in favor of the defendant BLT Reserve, LLC (BLT).1 On appeal, the plaintiffs claim that the court improperly determined that (1) the purchase and sale agreement upon which they based their claim for brokerage fees constituted part of an illegaltyingarrangementinviolation ofthe Connecticut Antitrust Act, (2) the listing agreements entered into pursuant to such purchase and sale agreement did not comply with General Statutes § 20-325a, and (3) such listing agreements were unenforceable by the plaintiffs because they were personal to Jeanette Haddad. We affirm the judgment of the trial court. Therecorddisclosesthefollowingfacts. InJuly, 2013, the plaintiffs brought a breach of contract action in which BLT was a defendant. See Reserve Realty, LLC

v. Windemere Reserve, LLC, 174 Conn. App. , A.3d (2017). That action concernedthepurchase and sale agreement for a parcel of land purchased by BLT, known as parcel 13, and listing agreements through which BLT grantedJeanette Haddad and Scalzo Realty;
see footnote 1 of this opinion; the exclusive right to sell and/or lease parcel 13 and a 3 percent commission
on any sale and/or lease of the property. On May 10, 2013, the plaintiffs executed a broker’s lien on parcel 13 in favor ofReserve Realty and the estate ofJeanette Haddadinthe amount ofa3percent commission onthe gross sellingprice orgrossrentalprice ofanyportion of the parcel. Subsequently, on May 8, 2014, the plaintiffs brought the present action seeking to foreclose on the broker’s lien.
On July 1, 2015, the trial court in the breach of contract action held that the listing agreements between the plaintiffs and BLT on which the lien in the present action is based were invalid and unenforceable. See ReserveRealty, LLCv. WindemereReserve, LLC, supra, 174 Conn. App.

. Consequently, on September 28, 2015, the parties filed astipulation in the present action that the memorandum ofdecision in the breach ofcontract action required the conclusion that the plaintiffs could not establish probable cause to sustain the validity of the lien, as required by General Statutes § 20- 325e.2 The plaintiffs, however, reserved all rights to appeal. The trial court rendered judgment discharging the lien in accordance with the stipulation. The plaintiffs then filed this appeal.3
On appeal, the plaintiffs make three claims identical to those made in the appeal from thejudgment in their breach of contract action. As the disposition of the claims in the present appeal must be governed by thedisposition ofthe claims inReserveRealty, LLCv. Windemere Reserve, LLC, supra, 174 Conn. App. , we conclude that the judgment discharging the lien must be affirmed.
The judgment is affirmed.

1 Century 21 Scalzo Realty, Inc. (Scalzo Realty) and The Reserve Master Association, Inc., also were namedas defendants. The actionwaswithdrawn

as to the latter. Scalzo Realty filed a brief adopting BLT’s position in this appeal.

2 General Statutes § 20-325e (a) provides in relevant part: ‘‘Whenever one
or more real property claims for liens are placed upon any real estate pursuant to section 20-325a, the owner of the real estate, if no action to foreclose the claim is then pending before any court, may make application, together with a proposed order and summons, to the superior court for the judicial district in which the lien may be foreclosed under the provisions ofsection20-325aortoanyjudgethereof,thatahearingorhearingstobeheld to determine whether the claim for lien or liens should be discharged

A hearing was scheduled for January 23, 2016 to establishthe amountofbondrequired. OnJanuary23, 2016, BLTwithdrew the motion to substitute bond. These actions have no bearing on the disposition of the present appeal.
