STATE v. LOPEZ

The petition by the state of Connecticut for certification for appeal from the Appellate Court, 80 Conn. App. 386 (AC 22637), is granted, limited to the following issue:

"Did the Appellate Court properly conclude that the trial court's inquiry into a possible conflict of interest between the defendant and defense counsel was inadequate and, if so, did the Appellate Court properly conclude that the defendant was entitled to a reversal of his conviction in the absence of a specific showing of harm?"

The Supreme Court docket number is SC 17123.

John A. East III, senior assistant state's attorney, in support of the petition.

William M. Bloss, in opposition.
