STATE of Connecticut v. Ricardo CORREA
Laila M. G. Haswell, senior assistant public defender, in support of the petition. Michele C. Lukban, senior assistant state's attorney, in opposition.
The defendant's petition for certification to appeal from the Appellate Court, 185 Conn.App. 308, 197 A.3d 393 (2018), is granted, limited to the following issues:
"1. Did the Appellate Court properly determine that a police canine sniff that took place outside of the defendant's motel room was not a search that violated the defendant's rights under article first, § 7, of the Connecticut constitution?
"2. Did the Appellate Court properly conclude that the visual sweep of the defendant's motel room was justified by exigent circumstances?"
