IN RE WILLIAM D

D. Keith Foren, assistant public defender, in support of the petition. Maura Murphy-Osborne, assistant attorney general, in opposition.

The respondent's petition for certification for appeal from the Appellate Court, 97 Conn. App. 600 (AC 26688), is granted, limited to the following issue:

"Whether the Appellate Court properly concluded that the term `child' as used in General Statutes § 46b-141 (b) did not have the meaning defined under General Statutes § 46b-120 (1), but rather referred to a person who was previously committed as a delinquent under the provisions of § 46b-141 (a)?"

The Supreme Court docket number is SC 17783.
