AC46768 - Wright v. Commissioner of Correction (“On appeal, the petitioner claims that the habeas court
erred by (1) rejecting his claim that he was deprived of his right to the
effective assistance of counsel when his trial counsel allegedly advised him to
flee the state during trial, (2) precluding him from testifying as to the
substance of that alleged advice, (3) failing to consider certain evidence
relevant to his claim that trial counsel rendered ineffective assistance in
connection with his handling of the trial, (4) failing to address whether trial
counsel’s alleged concealment from the trial court of his role in the petitioner’s
decision to flee constituted ineffective assistance of counsel and/or a
conflict of interest, and (5) failing to address whether he was deprived of his
right to the effective assistance of counsel at sentencing. We affirm the
judgment of the habeas court.”)
AC47267 - Nealy v. Commissioner of Correction (“On appeal, the petitioner claims that the habeas court (1)
abused its discretion by denying the petitioner’s petition for certification to
appeal the habeas court’s decision and (2) improperly denied his petition for a
writ of habeas corpus alleging ineffective assistance of criminal trial
counsel. We conclude that the court did not abuse its discretion in denying the
petition for certification to appeal and, accordingly, dismiss the petitioner’s
appeal.”)
