Supreme Court of Connecticut

Banks v. Commissioner of Correction

July 25, 2023347 Conn. 335

Summary

The dissent would affirm the dismissal of the petitioner's appeal because the petitioner failed to raise his plain-error and constitutional claims before the habeas court or in the petition for certification to appeal. It reasons that the certification requirement limits appellate review and that a habeas court cannot abuse its discretion concerning issues of which it had no notice.
