• 229 Conn. App. 228

Syllabus

The petitioner, who had been convicted of murder and carrying a pistol or revolver without a permit, appealed following the habeas court's denial of his petition for certification to appeal from the court's judgment denying his petition for a writ of habeas corpus. The petitioner's sole claim on appeal was that the court improperly granted his appellate counsel's motion to withdraw her appearance. Held: The habeas court's ruling on appellate counsel's motion to withdraw her appearance was not a proper subject for an appeal from the denial of a habeas corpus petition, and, as the petitioner did not raise or adequately brief any claim that directly challenged the trial court's judgment of convic- tion, any possible claims he may have had were abandoned.
