Opinion

HENNESSY, J.

The petitioner, William Farnum, appeals following the habeas court’s denial of his petition for certification to appeal from the judgment denying his amended petition for a writ of habeas corpus. The petitioner claims that the court abused its discretion in denying his petition for certification to appeal and improperly rejected his claim that his trial counsel and appellate counsel rendered ineffective assistance.
