Opinion
The petition by the respondent mother for certification for appeal from the Appellate Court, 164 Conn.App. 518, 137 A.3d 944 (2016), is granted, limited to the following issues:
“1. Did the Appellate Court incorrectly determine that the respondent's appeal should be dismissed as moot due to a lack of adequate briefing of her claim that the trial court incorrectly determined that she was unable to benefit from services?
“2. If the answer to the first question is in the affirmative, did the trial court correctly determine that the petitioner had made reasonable efforts and that the respondent was unable to benefit from reunification efforts?”
ROBINSON, J., did not participate in the consideration of or decision on this petition.
