AC42140 - Figueroa v. Commissioner of Correction (“On appeal, the petitioner claims that the court erred by
concluding that (1) he failed to sustain his burden of establishing prejudice
caused by his trial counsel’s failure to request an alibi instruction, (2) he failed
to sustain his burden of establishing prejudice caused by his appellate
counsel’s failure to argue on direct appeal that his constitutional right to a
trial by jury was violated, and (3) his claim that his constitutional right to
a trial by jury was violated was procedurally defaulted. We affirm the judgment
of the habeas court.”)
