The defendant's petition for certification to appeal from the Appellate Court, 218 Conn. App. 260, 291 A.3d 609 (2023), is granted, limited to the following issues:
"1. Did the Appellate Court correctly conclude that the trial court had not erred in admitting uncharged misconduct evidence about the names of outstanding felony charges from an unrelated case in the defendant's arrest warrant?
"2. Did the Appellate Court correctly conclude that the admission of evidence that the Violent Fugitive Task Force arrested the defendant was not unfairly prejudicial?"
