Of the plaintiffs remaining eight claims,3 four lack citation to any authority. Six of the claims are no more *236than bare assertions, four of which offer no analysis, and the remaining two offer only minimal and undeveloped analysis. Our Supreme Court has stated that “[w]e are not required to review issues that have been improperly presented to this court through an inadequate brief.” Connecticut National Bank v. Giacomi, 242 Conn. 17, 44-45, 699 A.2d 101 (1997). We have held that “[ajnalysis, rather than mere abstract assertion, is required in order to avoid abandoning an issue by failure to brief the issue properly.” State v. Henderson, 47 Conn. App. 542, 558, 706 A.2d 480, cert. denied, 244 Conn. 908, 713 A.2d 829 (1998). We conclude that the briefing here is inadequate and, therefore, decline to review the plaintiffs claims. The judgment is affirmed.
