The defendant's petition for certification for appeal from the Appellate Court, 27 Conn. App. 769, is granted, limited to the following issues:
"1. Having found that the trial court improperly denied the defendant a hearing before granting her lawyer's motion to withdraw in the midst of trial, should the Appellate Court have simply ordered a new trial?
"2. In a dissolution case, is a challenge to a ruling moot merely because the appellant does not make a general attack on the financial awards?
"3. May the trial court make an adverse inference against a defendant who rests at the end of the plaintiff's case without testifying?
"4. Should the Appellate Court have ruled on the mistrial issue?"
Wesley W. Horton and Alexandra Davis, in support of the petition.
C. Ian McLachlan, in opposition.
