The petition by the respondent mother for certification for appeal from the Appellate Court, 151 Conn.App. 710, 94 A.3d 1278, is granted, limited to the following issues:
“1. Did the Appellate Court properly construe the third prong of State v. Golding, 213 Conn. 233, 239–40, 567 A.2d 823 (1989), to require that there be binding precedent that is directly on point for a constitutional violation clearly to exist such that relief can be afforded to the appellant?
“2. Does the due process clause of the fourteenth amendment to the United States constitution require that a trial court canvass a parent personally about his or her decision not to contest the exhibits presented to the court against him or her in a parental termination proceeding?” ROBINSON, J., did not participate in the consideration of or decision on this petition.
