Opinion

Decided January 8, 1998


The defendant's petition for certification for appeal from the Appellate Court, 46 Conn. App. 450 (AC 15852), is granted, limited to the following issues:

"1. Did the Appellate Court properly conclude that General Statutes § 51-91a should be applied to attorneys convicted of felonies in federal courts or other states' courts?

"2. In light of the judiciary's power over the practice of law, does the application of § 51-91a in this case violate the separation of powers doctrine?

"3. Did the Appellate Court properly conclude that Practice Book §§ 28B and 28B.1 do not provide guidance for the disposition of this case."

NORCOTT, J., did not participate in the consideration or decision of this petition.
