The Appellate Court affirmed the petitioner's judgment of conviction. See State v. Barlow , 70 Conn. App. 232, 249, 797 A.2d 605, cert. denied, 261 Conn. 929, 806 A.2d 1067 (2002). The petitioner filed two unsuccessful habeas petitions.
The petitioner, represented by attorney Lori Welch–Rubin, unsuccessfully appealed his conviction. See State v. Barlow, 70 Conn.App. 232, 797 A.2d 605, cert. denied, 261 Conn. 929, 806 A.2d 1067 (2002). On September 14, 2009, the petitioner filed his second amended petition for a writ of habeas corpus, alleging the ineffective assistance of Welch–Rubin.
That policy applies to requests for review under Golding as well as requests for review under the plain error doctrine. See, e.g., State v. Barlow, 70 Conn. App. 232, 249, 797 A.2d 605 (declining to afford plain error review), cert. denied, 261 Conn. 929, 806 A.2d 1067 (2002); State v. Ancona, 69 Conn. App. 29, 36 n. 10, 797 A.2d 1138 (declining to afford review under Golding), cert. granted on other grounds, 260 Conn. 928, 798 A.2d 970 (2002); State v. Wright, 62 Conn. App. 743, 756, 774 A.2d 1015 (declining to afford review under Golding), cert. denied, 256 Conn. 919, 774 A.2d 142 (2001); State v. Smith, 57 Conn. App. 478, 483, 749 A.2d 67 (2000) (declining to afford review under Golding); State v. Salvatore, 57 Conn. App. 396, 401, 749 A.2d 71 (declining to afford review under either plain error doctrine or under Golding), cert. denied, 253 Conn. 921, 755 A.2d 216 (2000). By raising their claim for review under those doctrines in their reply brief, the plaintiffs deprived the adverse party of an opportunity to brief the merits of the claim.
