Coleman v. Commissioner of Correction

Opinion of the Court

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

The petitioner, Eugene A. Coleman, appeals from the judgment of the habeas court denying his petition for a writ of habeas corpus. On appeal, the petitioner claims that the court improperly (1) denied certification to appeal from the denial of his petition for a writ of habeas corpus and (2) abused its discretion in denying the petition.

After a thorough review of the record and briefs, we conclude that the petitioner has failed to make a substantial showing that he has been denied a state or federal constitutional right and, further, has failed to sustain his burden of persuasion that the denial of certification to appeal from the denial of his habeas corpus petition was a clear abuse of discretion or that an injus*332petition was a clear abuse of discretion or that an injustice has been done. See Simms v. Warden, 230 Conn. 608, 612, 646 A.2d 126 (1994); Simms v. Warden, 229 Conn. 178, 189, 640 A.2d 601 (1994); Pollitt v. Commissioner of Correction, 60 Conn. App. 743, 746, 760 A.2d 1278 (2000), cert. denied, 255 Conn. 930, 767 A.2d 101 (2001); see also Lozada v. Deeds, 498 U.S. 430, 431-32, 111 S. Ct. 860, 112 L. Ed. 2d 956 (1991).

The appeal is dismissed
