To the extent that our conclusion is inconsistent with Appellate Court precedent holding that plain error or Golding review is unavailable for unpreserved claims challenging the actions or omissions of the habeas court following the denial of a petition for certification to appeal, we hereby disavow the reasoning of those cases. See, e.g., Solek v. Commissioner of Correction , 203 Conn. App. 289, 299, 248 A.3d 69, cert. denied, 336 Conn. 935, 248 A.3d 709 (2021) ; Coleman v. Commissioner of Correction , 202 Conn. App. 563, 569–71, 246 A.3d 54, cert. denied, 336 Conn. 922, 246 A.3d 2 (2021) ; Whistnant v. Commissioner of Correction , 199 Conn. App. 406, 418–19, 236 A.3d 276, cert. denied, 335 Conn. 969, 240 A.3d 286 (2020) ; Villafane v. Commissioner of Correction , 190 Conn. App. 566, 573–74, 211 A.3d 72, cert. denied, 333 Conn. 902, 215 A.3d 160 (2019) ; Mercado v. Commissioner of Correction , 85 Conn. App. 869, 872, 860 A.2d 270 (2004), cert. denied, 273 Conn. 908, 870 A.2d 1079 (2005). The judgment of the Appellate Court is reversed and the case is remanded to that court for further proceedings in accordance with this opinion.
Lopez v. Commissioner of Correction, 142 Conn. App. 53, 57 n.2, 64 A:3d 334 (2013); see also Eubanks v. Commissioner of Correction, 329 Conn. 584, 598, 188 A.3d 702 (2018) (appellate review of claims not raised before habeas court would amount to ambuscade of habeas judge); Walker v. Commissioner of Correction, 176 Conn. App. 843, 846 n.2, 171 A.3d 525 (2017) (Appellate Court is not compelled to consider issues neither alleged in habeas petition nor considered at habeas proceeding); Sewell v. Commissioner of Correction, 168 Conn. App. 735, 736-37 ?.2, 147 A.3d 196 (2016) (Appellate Court did riot consider issues not alleged in habeas petition or considered at trial during habeas proceeding), cert. denied, 324 Conn. 907, 152 A.3d 1245 (2017)." Coleman v. Commissioner of Correction, 202 Conn. App. 563; 577, 246 A.3d 54, cert. denied, 336 Conn. 922, 246 A.3d 2 (2021).In his appellate brief, the petitioner correctly notes that the respondent in this appeal "does not challenge" the factual findings made by the habeas court.
(Internal quotation marks omitted.) Coleman v. Commissioner of Correction , 202 Conn. App. 563, 576, 246 A.3d 54, cert. denied, 336 Conn. 922, 246 A.3d 2 (2021). As our Supreme Court has long recognized, "[t]he familiar legal maxims, that everyone is presumed to know the law, and that ignorance of the law excuses no one, are founded upon public policy and in necessity, and the idea [underlying] them is that one's acts must be considered as having been done with knowledge of the law, for otherwise its evasion would be facilitated and the courts burdened with collateral inquiries into the content of [people's] minds.... This rule of public policy has been repeatedly applied by [our Supreme Court]."
