Connecticut Appellate Court

Decided December 26, 2017No. AC38688PublishedCited by 9 opinions

1Opinion of the CourtKahn, J.

*31 The petitioner, Hector Colon, appeals following the denial of his petition for certification to appeal from the habeas court's judgment denying his *32 petition for a writ of habeas corpus. On appeal, the petitioner *1164 claims that the court improperly denied his petition for certification to appeal after erroneously concluding that his criminal trial counsel, Nicholas Cardwell, had not provided ineffective assistance. We conclude that the court did not abuse its discretion in denying the petition for certification to appeal, and, accordingly, we dismiss the appeal.
