Prominent land-use attorney Dwight Merriam will have to wait until at least July 9 to hear his legal fate after being arrested May 1 for alleged domestic violence against his fiancee.

Merriam, a long-time partner for Robinson & Cole who is now on leave from the firm, was supposed to appear in Enfield Superior Court on Monday for a hearing, but his case was continued to July 9. He is charged with third-degree assault and disorderly conduct.
