Supreme Court of Connecticut

Wargo v. Commissioner of Correction

April 14, 2015

Summary

The court dismissed the certified appeal because certification had been improvidently granted, rather than reaching the merits of the petitioner's ineffective-assistance claim. The underlying claim concerned an alleged conflict of interest arising from counsel's simultaneous representation of the petitioner in an insurance claim and criminal prosecution. The court did not decide whether that conflict adversely affected counsel's performance.
