Opinion
The habeas court denied the petition for a writ of habeas corpus that was filed by the petitioner, Russell Johnson, and denied his petition for certification to appeal from that denial. After careful review of the record and briefs, we conclude that the petitioner has not demonstrated that the issues are debatable among jurists of reason, that a court could resolve the issues in a different manner or that the questions raised deserve encouragement to proceed further. See Lozada v. Deeds, 498 U.S. 430, 431-32, 111 S.Ct. 860, 112 L.Ed.2d 956 (1991); see also Simms v. Warden, 230 Conn. 608, 616, 646 A.2d 126 (1994).
