The defendant's petition for certification to appeal from the Appellate Court, 195 Conn.App. 36, 223 A.3d 62 (2019), is granted, limited to the following issues:
"1. Did the Appellate Court correctly conclude that the defendant did not have standing to raise a due process challenge to his prosecution under a criminal statute, namely, General Statutes § 21a-277 (b), that he claims was enacted for the purpose of discriminating against minority groups to which he does not belong?
"2. If the answer to the first question is ‘no,’ was § 21a-277 (b) enacted for the purpose of discriminating against African Americans and/or Mexican Americans?"
