Opinion
HENNESSY, J.
The petitioner, Anthony Sinchak, appeals following the denial of his petition for certification to appeal from the judgments of the habeas court denying his consolidated petitions for a writ of habeas corpus. The petitioner claims that the court (1) abused its discretion in denying his petition for certification to appeal from the judgments rejecting his claim that his trial counsel rendered ineffective assistance and (2) failed to conduct a sufficient inquiiy into his allegation that a conflict of interest existed between him and his habeas counsel. We dismiss the appeal.
