James M. Fox, special public defender, filed a brief for the appellant (petitioner). Marjorie Allen Dauster, senior assistant state's attorney, Christopher L. Morano, chief state's attorney, and Angela R. Macchiarulo, assistant state's attorney, filed a brief for the appellee (respondent).
LAVERY, C.J., and FOTI and WEST, Js.
The petitioner, Corey Turner, appeals from the judgment of the habeas court following the denial of his petition for certification to appeal from the denial of his petition for a writ of habeas corpus. On appeal, the petitioner claims that the court abused its discretion when it denied his petition for certification to appeal. We dismiss the appeal.
The following facts and procedural history are relevant to our resolution of the petitioner's appeal. The petitioner was charged with and convicted of murder in violation of General Statutes § 53a-54a and assault in the first degree in violation of General Statutes § 53a-59(a)(5). He was sentenced to sixty years of incarceration. The petitioner's conviction was upheld by our Supreme Court in State v. Turner, 252 Conn. 714, 751 A.2d 372 (2000).
Thereafter, the petitioner filed an amended petition for a writ of habeas corpus, alleging that both his trial and appellate counsel rendered ineffective assistance. The habeas court found that the petitioner could not meet the requirements of an ineffective assistance of counsel claim pursuant to Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668, 104 S.Ct. 2052, 80 L.Ed.2d 674 (1984). Strickland requires that a petitioner first show Id., at 687, 104 S.Ct. 2052. If, and only if, the petitioner manages to get over the first hurdle, then the petitioner must clear the second obstacle by proving Id.
