• 229 Conn. App. 213

Syllabus

Convicted, on pleas of guilty, of criminal trespass in the first degree, assault in the third degree, and violation of a protective order, the defendant appealed. He asked this court to allow him to withdraw his pleas, claiming, inter alia, that his trial counsel rendered ineffective assistance by failing to investigate his competence and to request a competency evaluation. Held: This court declined to review the defendant's unpreserved claims, as he failed to move to withdraw his pleas in accordance with the applicable rules of practice (§§ 39-26 and 39-27) and he failed to adequately brief the claims in accordance with the mandates for the review of unpreserved constitutional claims pursuant to State v. Golding (213 Conn. 233). Argued September 9—officially released November 19, 2024
