"snippet": "In its memorandum of decision, the court found that after S, the attorney and partner at S Co. who represented the plaintiff in the dissolution action, informed the plaintiff that he planned to retire, the plaintiff indicated to S that she understood his letter to mean that she needed to retain new counsel, and that on March 11, 2010, she retained new counsel when another law firm filed an appearance in lieu of S Co., which withdrew S Co.'s appearance in the dissolution action by law pursuant to the relevant rule of practice (§ 3-9). The court also found that certain post-March, 2010 billing records of S Co. that the plaintiff had relied on failed to support her continuous representation claim and, thus, that plaintiff had failed to establish that the continuing representation doc- trine tolled the statute of limitations. The plaintiff subsequently filed a motion to reargue, claiming that the court had failed to take judicial notice of S Co.'s automatic appearance in the appeal in the dissolution action when it considered her continuous representation claim.",
