On consideration of the defendant's petition for certification to appeal from the Appellate Court, 199 Conn. App. 187, 235 A.3d 576 (2020), it is ordered as follows: "The petition is granted as to the defendant's claim that the testimony of the defendant's former probation officer identifying the defendant in a still photograph and video surveillance footage constituted impermissible opinion testimony on the ultimate issue and is denied as to all other claims presented for review. It is further ordered that the case is remanded to the Appellate Court with direction to consider the defendant's claim regarding the allegedly improper opinion testimony in light of this court's decisions in State v. Bruny , 342 Conn. 169, 269 A.3d 38 (2022), and State v. Gore , 342 Conn. 129, 269 A.3d 1 (2022)."
