Johnson v. Commissioner of Correction

Opinion

The petitioner, Duane B. Johnson, appeals following the denial of certification to appeal from the judgment denying his petition for a writ of habeas coipus. On appeal, the petitioner claims that the habeas court abused its discretion in denying his petition for certification to appeal and improperly denied the habeas petition.
