     RONALD LORICCO, TRUSTEE v. HULA’S
          NEW HAVEN, LLC, ET AL.
                (AC 36363)
                 Sheldon, Keller and Bear, Js.
       Argued February 6—officially released May 26, 2015

(Appeal from Superior Court, judicial district of New
               Haven, Zemetis, J.)
  John R. Harness, with whom, on the brief, was Brian
P. Kraemer, for the appellants (defendants).
  Robert T. Harrington, for the appellee (plaintiff).
                          Opinion

   PER CURIAM. The plaintiff, Ronald LoRicco, trustee,
a landlord, brought this action against the defendant
Hula’s New Haven, LLC, a tenant, seeking payments
pursuant to a commercial lease agreement. The plaintiff
also named as defendants Donald G. Kelly, Albert J.
Silverman and Todd M. Kazakowski, also known as Tom
M. Kosakowski, as guarantors of the lease. Following a
trial, the court, Zemetis, J., rendered judgment in favor
of the plaintiff as to all defendants by way of a memoran-
dum of decision filed November 22, 2013. The defen-
dants claim on appeal that the trial court erred in
enforcing the guarantee because there was no meeting
of the minds as to its terms. We have examined the
record on appeal and considered the briefs and the
arguments of the parties, and conclude that the judg-
ment of the trial court should be affirmed. Because the
trial court thoroughly addressed the arguments raised
in this appeal, we adopt its well reasoned decision as
a statement of the facts and the applicable law on the
issue. See LoRicco v. Hula’s New Haven, LLC, 53 Conn.
Supp. 372,        A.3d       (2013). Any further discussion
by this court would serve no useful purpose. See, e.g.,
Woodruff v. Hemingway, 297 Conn. 317, 321, 2 A.3d
857 (2010).
  The judgment is affirmed.
