v.
JAMES E.

Supreme Court of Connecticut.

Decided June 8, 2016.

Timothy H. Everett, assigned counsel, in support of the petition.

Sarah Hanna, assistant state's attorney, in opposition.

On reconsideration of the defendant's petition for certification for appeal from the Appellate Court, 154 Conn.App. 795, 112 A.3d 791 (2015), is granted, limited to the following issue:

“Did the Appellate Court properly determine that evidence was sufficient to prove the state's allegation that the defendant had caused or permitted a child ‘to be placed in such a situation that its life or limb was endangered’ when the Appellate Court determined that there was sufficient evidence to support an uncharged theory of risk of injury to a child, i.e., that ‘the defendant's conduct created a risk of harm to the mental health of the child?’ ”

EVELEIGH, J., did not participate in the consideration of or decision on this petition.
