Opinion
The defendant's petition for certification for appeal from the Appellate Court, 153 Conn.App. 507, 101 A.3d 375 (2014), is granted, limited to the following issues:
“1. Did the Appellate Court properly conclude that evidence of the defendant's prior misconduct was admissible to prove his intent and motive to commit the charged offenses?
“2. Did the Appellate Court properly conclude that the defendant's convictions for conspiracy to commit burglary in the third degree and the substantive crime of burglary in the third degree as an accessory did not violate the defendant's constitutional double jeopardy rights?
“3. Did the Appellate Court properly conclude that the defendant's challenge to the jury instructions was waived under State v. Kitchens, 299 Conn. 447, 10 A.3d 942 (2011), when he also requested review of that claim under the plain error doctrine?”
