Opinion
PALMER, J.
The sole issue raised by this appeal is whether the habeas court properly rejected the claim of the petitioner, William A. Connelly, that the forty year prison sentence he received following his conviction of two counts of kidnapping in the second degree in *376violation of General Statutes (Rev. to 1989) § SSa-941 and two counts of assault in the second degree in violation General Statutes (Rev. to 1989) § 53a-602 was the product of judicial vindictiveness in violation of his constitutional right to due process.3 We affirm the judgment of the habeas court.
