Williams v. Commissioner of Correction

Appellate Court of Connecticut
Mar 5, 1996
671 A.2d 411 (Conn. App. Ct. 1996)

Opinion

(14241)

Argued January 17, 1996

Decision released March 5, 1996

Amended petition for a writ of habeas corpus, brought to the Superior Court in the judicial district of Tolland and tried to the court, Sferrazza, J.; judgment dismissing the petition; thereafter, the court denied the petition for certification to appeal, and the petitioner appealed to this court. Affirmed.

Leopold P. DeFusco, special public defender, for the appellant (petitioner).

Richard F. Jacobson, assistant state's attorney, with whom, on the brief, were Donald A. Browne, state's attorney, and Gerard P. Eisenman, assistant state's attorney, for the appellee (respondent).


The petitioner appeals from the habeas court's dismissal of his petition for writ of habeas corpus and the court's denial of his petition for certification.

After a review of the record and briefs, and after considering the oral arguments, we conclude that the petitioner has not made a substantial showing that he has been denied a state or federal right or sustained the burden of persuasion that the denial of certification to appeal was a clear abuse of discretion or that an injustice has been done.
