The defendant's petition for certification for appeal from the Appellate Court, 53 Conn. App. 90 (AC 17984), is granted, limited to the following issue:
"Whether the Appellate Court properly concluded that the defendant knowingly had entered a guilty plea to murder where the trial court failed to inform him pursuant to General Statutes § 54-125a (b)(1), he would be statutorily ineligible for parole as a consequence of pleading guilty?"
