PER CURIAM.

Angel Alvarado, self-represented, the appellant (petitioner).

Zenobia G. Graham–Days, assistant attorney general, with whom, on the brief, was George Jepsen, attorney general, for the appellee (respondent).

Lavine, Sheldon and Mullins, Js.

PER CURIAM.The petitioner, Angel Alvarado, appeals following the denial of his petition for certification to appeal from the judgment of dismissal of his petition for a writ of habeas corpus, in which he challenged his disciplinary designation as a member of a security risk group by the respondent, the Commissioner of Correction. The habeas court dismissed his petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to Practice Book § 23–29 (2) on the ground that it failed to state a cause of action upon which relief could be granted. Because a "petitioner's classification as a security risk group member does not implicate a liberty interest" that is "sufficient to invoke the subject matter jurisdiction of the habeas court"; (internal quotation marks omitted) Rodriguez v. Commissioner of Correction , 159 Conn.App. 162, 166, 122 A.3d 709 (2015) ; we conclude that the habeas court properly dismissed the petition for a writ of habeas corpus. On this point, jurists of reason cannot differ. Accordingly, we further conclude that the habeas court did not err in denying the petitioner's petition for certification to appeal. See id.

The appeal is dismissed.
