• 350 Conn. 798

Syllabus

The defendant appealed from the judgment of the Appellate Court, which had affirmed the trial court's judgment revoking his probation. He claimed that the Appellate Court improperly upheld the trial court's conclusion that it lacked authority under the statute (§ 18-98d) governing presentence confinement credit to direct the commissioner of correction to apply such credit to his sentence. Held: The issue of whether the trial court has authority to direct the commissioner to apply specific presentence confinement credit to a sentence was resolved in the companion case of State v. Hurdle (350 Conn. 770), in which this court held that trial courts do have authority to direct the commissioner to apply such credit to a sentence on a judgment mittimus.
