Opinion
BERDON, J.
The respondent, the commissioner of correction (commissioner), appeals from the judgment of the habeas court granting relief to the petitioner, Anderson Vazquez, on count one of his habeas petition and ordering a new trial. The commissioner claims that the court (1) abused its discretion by denying her petition for certification to appeal and (2) improperly concluded that the petitioner’s trial counsel provided ineffective assistance of counsel by failing to present an alibi defense. We dismiss the appeal.
