1Opinion of the Court
MOORE, Circuit Judge:
Daniel Leone, Warden of the Hartford Correctional Center, appeals from the granting of appellee Jacob Schaefer’s petition for a writ of habeas corpus. The sole issue presented for review is whether a misstatement of Connecticut law by a Connecticut trial court to a jury regarding provable elements of the crime charged, held by the Connecticut appellate courts to constitute nonreversible error, is a question of constitutional dimension thereby creating a substantial federal question cognizable by the federal courts under their habeas corpus jurisdiction.
