Benjamin M. Wattenmaker, Hartford, assigned counsel, in support of the petition.

The petition of the respondent father for certification to appeal from the Appellate Court, 213 Conn. App. 858, 279 A.3d 766 (2022), is granted, limited to the following issues:

"1. Did the Appellate Court correctly conclude that the presumption that reinstatement of guardianship is in the best interest of the child does not apply in cases in which both parties are the parents of the minor child?

"2. Did the Appellate Court correctly conclude that, notwithstanding the trial court's statement that a presumption applies, the trial court did not apply the presumption but, rather, correctly applied the proper best interest balancing test?"

ALEXANDER, J., did not participate in the consideration of or decision on this petition.
