AC46227 - James P. v.
Commissioner of Correction (“On appeal, the petitioner, who had been convicted of
various crimes pursuant to a guilty plea, claims that (1) his trial counsel
performed deficiently by informing him that it was possible for the sentencing
court to reject the plea agreement if the court determined that the agreed upon
sentence was too high and (2) he was prejudiced by his trial counsel’s
deficient performance. We disagree with the petitioner’s second claim and,
accordingly, affirm the judgment of the habeas court.”)
AC46077 - Vega v.
Commissioner of Correction (“The petitioner claims that the habeas court (1) abused its
discretion in denying his petition for certification to appeal, (2) improperly
concluded that he failed to prove that the state had suppressed exculpatory
information in violation of Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83, 87, 83 S.
Ct. 1194, 10 L. Ed. 2d 215 (1963), and (3) improperly concluded that he failed
to establish that his trial counsel rendered ineffective assistance. Because
the petitioner has failed to demonstrate that the court improperly denied his
petition for certification to appeal, we dismiss the appeal.”)
