Habeas Appellate Court Opinions

by Steinmetz, Mollie

 

AC47330- Harris v. Commissioner of Correction (“On appeal, the petitioner claims that (1) his guilty plea to risk of injury to a child in violation of General Statutes § 53-21 (a) (2) was not knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily entered in violation of his right to due process because he was not advised that he would be required to register as a sex offender, and (2) his trial counsel, Susan Brown, rendered ineffective assistance in failing to so advise him. We affirm the judgment of the habeas court.”)

AC47136 - Roger B. v. Commissioner of Correction (“On appeal, he claims that the court (1) incorrectly applied the law of the case doctrine to conclude that it was bound by this court’s most recent decision in this matter, and (2) improperly denied his habeas petition, which was predicated on the alleged ineffective assistance of his prior habeas counsel and trial counsel. We agree with the petitioner’s second claim and, accordingly, reverse the judgment of the habeas court.”)
