Opinion
MCDONALD, J.
The defendant, Kirk McDowell, appeals from the denial of a motion to dismiss.1 He *650claims that the state, because of common-law collateral estoppel and the constitutional protections against double jeopardy, may not prosecute him for an attempted robbery, criminal possession of a weapon or reckless endangerment when it has failed to prove a violation of probation based upon those charges. See State v. McDowell, 241 Conn. 413, 413-14, 696 A.2d 977 (1997). We reject the defendant’s claims and, therefore, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
