*563 Opinion

The defendant, Glenn E. Olson, appeals from the trial court’s judgment of conviction, rendered after a conditional plea of nolo contendere pursuant to General Statutes § 54-94a1 of operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of intoxicating liquor in violation of General Statutes § 14-227a.2 The defendant claims that the evidence was insufficient to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he operated a motor vehicle on a public highway. We reverse the judgment of the trial court and remand the case for further proceedings.

The record reflects that the defendant entered his conditional plea on January 31, 2001. After he did so, the parties stipulated that the information set forth in the police report would constitute the factual basis for the charge. The report was marked as an exhibit, and the court continued to canvass the defendant, noting that both sides believed the police report to be “an *564adequate record for an appeal to the Appellate Court.” The defendant argues that our review of the report will disclose that the state has failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he was operating a motor vehicle on a public highway, a necessary element to support a conviction under § 14-227a.

Section 54-94a permits a defendant who has entered a conditional plea of nolo contendere to appeal only from the actions of the trial court described in that section. A claim of insufficient evidence is not one of the particular claims that § 54-94a permits to be appealed.3 An unconditional plea of nolo contendere, in contrast, “intelligently and voluntarily made, operates as a waiver of all nonjurisdictional defects and bars the later assertion of constitutional challenges to pretrial proceedings. . . . Therefore, only those issues fully disclosed in the record which relate either to the exercise of jurisdiction by the court or to the voluntary and intelligent nature of the plea are ordinarily appeal-able . . . .” (Internal quotation marks omitted.) State v. Kelley, 206 Conn. 323, 327, 537 A.2d 483 (1988).

We conclude that the trial court mistakenly accepted the defendant’s conditional plea of nolo contendere because the record clearly reflects that the defendant intended to enter his plea on the condition that he be permitted to challenge on appeal the sufficiency of the evidence. We cannot permit the defendant’s conviction to stand. The judgment must be reversed and the case remanded for further proceedings. See id., 337; State v. Madera, 198 Conn. 92, 107-108, 503 A.2d 136 (1985).

The judgment is reversed as to the conviction of operating a motor vehicle while under the influence *565of intoxicating liquor and the case is remanded with direction to vacate the plea and to reinstate that charge.
