AC41039 - Leon v. Commissioner of Correction ("On appeal, the petitioner claims that (1) that conduct violated his right to client autonomy under the sixth amendment to the United States constitution, and (2) the habeas court improperly determined that the petitioner had not been denied the effective assistance of counsel by that conduct. We conclude that the former was not pleaded or decided by the habeas court and therefore is not properly before this court. With respect to the latter, the petitioner’s claim of ineffective assistance of counsel fails, as he did not establish prejudice. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the habeas court.")

AC40984 - Brewer v. Commissioner of Correction (“On appeal, the petitioner claims that the habeas court erred in rejecting his claim that his prior habeas attorney rendered ineffective assistance by failing to allege that his criminal trial counsel rendered ineffective assistance by failing (1) to consult with a forensic pathologist to reconstruct the crime scene, and (2) to object to the admission into evidence of certain witness statements. We affirm the judgment of the habeas court.”)
