Placide v. Commissioner of Correction

Connecticut Appellate Court

Decided August 9, 2016No. AC37189PublishedCited by 5 opinions

1Opinion of the CourtPellegrino, J.

Following a grant of certification to appeal, the petitioner, Eddy Placide, appeals from the judgment of the habeas court denying his amended petition for a writ of habeas corpus. On appeal, he claims that the habeas court (1) improperly rejected his claim that his right to due process under the federal and state constitutions was violated because his decision to enter two guilty pleas was not made knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily, and (2) erred in denying his claim of ineffective assistance of trial counsel. We affirm the judgment of the habeas court.
