v.Ricardo CORREA

Supreme Court of Connecticut.

Decided January 10, 2019

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?"
