Opinion of the Court
The petitioner Eugene Russell’s petition for certification for appeal from the Appellate Court, 49 Conn. App. 52 (AC 16711), is denied.
Dissenting Opinion
dissenting. I would grant the petitioner’s petition for certification to appeal on the following issues:
“1. Did the habeas court abuse its discretion in denying the petitioner certification to appeal on the grounds of ineffective assistance of trial counsel as a result of a conflict of interest based upon a violation of the trial attorney’s duty of loyalty?
“2. If so, is the petitioner required to prove the second prong of Strickland
