SULLIVAN, C. J.
Following our grant of certification,1 the petitioner, Anthony W. Oliphant, appeals from the judgment of the Appellate Court affirming the habeas court’s sua sponte dismissal of his petition for a writ of habeas corpus. The petitioner’s principal claim is that the Appellate Court improperly concluded that the habeas court lacked subject matter jurisdiction over his petition because he was not in “custody” within the meaning of General Statutes § 52-4662 when his petition was filed. We disagree and affirm the judgment of the Appellate Court.
