[EDITOR'S NOTE: This case is unpublished as indicated by the issuing court.]                         MEMORANDUM OF DECISION  RE PLAINTIFF'S OFFER OF JUDGMENT INTEREST
An Offer of Judgment was filed by the plaintiff on August 20, 1999, in the amount of $20,000.00. A jury verdict was rendered in favor of the plaintiff on May 16, 2002, which totaled $23,473.45. Because the Offer of Judgment was filed within eighteen months of the filing of the complaint, the plaintiff is entitled to 12% interest on the verdict dating back to April 26, 1999, the date the complaint was returned to court.1 The court calculated the Offer of Judgment Interest as follows:
