Opinion
(14704)
Decided February 24, 1993
The defendant's petition for certification for appeal from the Appellate Court, 30 Conn. App. 68 [AC 10692], is granted, limited to the following issue:
"Did the Appellate Court improperly commingle direct appeal and collateral review standards and thereby arrive at the erroneous and harmful legal conclusion that in order to prevail on a direct appeal claim that the trial court erred in denying the defendant's motion for a continuance to obtain new counsel, the defendant must demonstrate `specific prejudice' or claim `ineffective assistance of counsel'?"
Elizabeth M. Inkster, assistant public defender, in support of the petition.
