SULLIVAN, J.
The dispositive issue in this appeal is whether service of process pursuant to General Statutes § 4-183 (c)1 is perfected upon depositing into the mail a copy of the appeal documents, addressed to the proper agency or the office of the attorney general, within forty-five days of an agency decision. The plaintiff, AM-lah Bittle, appeals from the judgment of the trial court dismissing her appeal from a decision of the defendant department of social services (department). The trial court concluded that it did not have jurisdiction to hear the plaintiffs appeal because service of process was not made on the defendant within forty-five days as required by § 4-183 (c).
