Supreme Court of Connecticut

Moye v. Commissioner of Correction

May 12, 2015

Summary

The court held that Golding review is unavailable for an ineffective-assistance claim first raised in a habeas appeal when the claim concerns counsel's conduct during the criminal trial rather than an action or omission by the habeas court. Because the petitioner failed to present the double-jeopardy-based ineffective-assistance theory in the habeas court, the court declined to reach whether the claim satisfied Golding or had merit and affirmed. No separate opinions were filed.
