AC37441 - State v. Baker (Possession of weapon or dangerous instrument in correctional institution;"The defendant, James Baker, appeals from the judgment of the trial court denying his motion to correct an illegal sentence filed pursuant to Practice Book § 43-22. After pleading guilty under the Alford doctrine to possessing a weapon or dangerous instrument in a correctional institution in violation of General Statutes § 53a-174a (a), the defendant was sentenced to eighteen months of imprisonment. The defendant claims on appeal that the trial court (1) improperly denied his motion to correct the eighteen month sentence because the sentence violates the double jeopardy clause of the federal constitution, and (2) abused its discretion by excluding evidence that was relevant to the disposition of the motion to correct. We affirm the judgment of the trial court.")

AC37891 - State v. Palmenta (Motion to correct illegal sentence; "The defendant, Scott Palmenta, appeals from the judgment of the trial court denying his motion to correct an illegal sentence. On appeal, the defendant claims that he falls within the exemption set forth in General Statutes § 53a-40 (c), and, therefore, the court improperly sentenced him as a persistent serious felony offender. We disagree with the defendant and, accordingly, affirm the judgment of the trial court.")

AC37433, AC37434 - State v. Kinch (Possession of narcotics with intent to sell by person who is not drug-dependent; failure to appear in first degree; "This case involves an investigatory stop of a motor vehicle. The defendant, Phil Kinch, appeals from the judgments of conviction, rendered after jury trials, of possession of narcotics with intent to sell by a person who is not drug-dependent in violation of General Statutes § 21a-278 (b) and failure to appear in the first degree in violation of General Statutes § 53a-172 (a) (1). On appeal, the defendant claims that the trial court improperly denied his motion to suppress certain evidence. He further maintains that, should he prevail on that claim, his conviction for failure to appear also must be set aside. We affirm the judgments of the trial court.")
