AC44187 - Olorunfunmi v. Commissioner of Correction (“On appeal, the petitioner, a Nigerian citizen, claims that the habeas court abused its discretion in denying the petition for certification to appeal because his constitutional right to the effective assistance of counsel was violated due to the failure of his trial counsel to advise him, as required by Padilla v. Kentucky, 559 U.S. 356, 130 S. Ct. 1473, 176 L. Ed. 2d 284 (2010), that a plea of guilty to larceny in the second degree would almost certainly result in his deportation to Nigeria, which, in fact, occurred following his plea to that offense and subsequent sentencing. We conclude that the petitioner has not demonstrated that the habeas court abused its discretion in denying the petition for certification, and, accordingly, we dismiss the appeal.”)

AC44047 - Ortiz v. Commissioner of Correction (“The petitioner claims that the court abused its discretion in denying his petition for certification to appeal and erred in its determination that he failed to demonstrate good cause for the untimely filing of his petition for a writ of habeas corpus under General Statutes § 52-470 (e). Our examination of the record and briefs and consideration of the oral arguments of the parties persuades us that the habeas court acted properly and, therefore, the appeal should be dismissed.”)
