AC41663 - Leffingwell v. Commissioner of Correction (Amended petition for a writ of habeas corpus; “In that petition, he claimed, inter alia, that his federal and state constitutional rights were violated as a result of legislative changes pertaining to the administration and application of risk reduction earned credits (RREC). On appeal, the petitioner claims that the court improperly dismissed his petition without first providing him with notice and an opportunity to be heard. In accordance with our Supreme Court’s decisions in Brown v. Commissioner of Correction, 345 Conn. 1, 282 A.3d 959 (2022), and Boria v. Commissioner of Correction, 345 Conn. 39, 282 A.3d 433 (2022), we conclude that the habeas court should not have dismissed the habeas petition pursuant to § 23-29 without first providing the petitioner with notice and an opportunity to submit a brief or other written response addressing the proposed basis for dismissal. Accordingly, we reverse the judgment of the habeas court and remand for further proceedings in accordance with this decision.”)
