AC39330 - Miller v. Commissioner of Correction ("On appeal, the petitioner claims that the habeas court (1)
abused its discretion in denying certification to appeal and (2) improperly
concluded that trial counsel did not render ineffective assistance when
advising him of the immigration consequences of his guilty plea. We agree that
the habeas court abused its discretion in denying the petition for
certification to appeal and that trial counsel rendered deficient performance
when advising the petitioner of the immigration consequences of his guilty
plea. We conclude, however, that the record is inadequate to determine whether
the petitioner was prejudiced by counsel’s deficient performance. Accordingly,
we reverse the judgment of the habeas court and remand the matter for further
habeas proceedings in accordance with this opinion.")
AC39401 - Pereira v. Commissioner of Correction (Claim that petitioner’s due process rifhts were violated as result of a kidnapping conviction; jury instruction pursuant to State v. Salamon; “On appeal, the petitioner claims that the habeas court (1) abused its discretion in denying his petition for certification to appeal from the denial of his habeas petition and (2) improperly denied his habeas petition. We conclude that the habeas court did not abuse its discretion in denying certification to appeal. Accordingly, we dismiss the petitioner’s appeal.”)
AC39161 - Pentland v. Commissioner of Correction ("On appeal, the petitioner claims that the court improperly
dismissed his petition for lack of subject matter jurisdiction on the basis of an
erroneous conclusion that he was not in the custody of the respondent, the
Commissioner of Correction, on the challenged conviction when he filed his
petition, as required by General Statutes § 52-466. We conclude that the
petitioner did not allege sufficient facts in his petition to establish the
habeas court’s subject matter jurisdiction to hear his petition. Accordingly,
the judgment of the habeas court is affirmed.")
