Opinion

2Per curiam

The petitioner, Michael Spyke, appeals following the denial of his petition for certification to appeal from the judgment dismissing his petition for a writ of habeas corpus, after the court granted the motion for summary judgment of the respondent, the Commissioner of Correction. On appeal, the petitioner claims that the habeas court (1) abused its discretion by denying the petition for certification to appeal, and (2) erred in granting the respondent’s motion for summary judgment.1 We disagree and dismiss the appeal.
