Text: Cole asserts a number of factual claims. First, he claims that his agreement with Merrill Lynch was to sell his entire block of CG shares rather than a contract to sell 5000 shares accompanied by a time limit option in Merrill Lynch to purchase the remaining shares at a stated price. He also claims that at the time of the transaction his mailing address was in Miami, Florida rather than his office at Hartford. The jury, in response to a specific interrogatory, found against Cole on the first claim and the court in its memorandum of decision specifically found against him on both claims. Since there was conflicting evidence on both claims, the resolution of these issues was for the determination of the trier. Halperin v. Pine Plaza Corporation, 180 Conn. 85, 87-88, 428 A.2d 340 (1980). Cole's challenge to the factual findings is nothing more than a request that we accept his version of the facts and this we cannot do because it is not our function to retry the case. Edgewood Construction Co., Inc. v. West Haven Redevelopment Agency, 170 Conn. 271, 272, 365 A.2d 819 (1976).
