STATE v. MANFREDI

The defendant's petition for certification for appeal from the Appellate Court, 17 Conn. App. 602, is granted, limited to the following issue:

"Did the Appellate Court err in sustaining the admission of expert psychiatric testimony elicited by the state in advance of the filing of a notice of intent to rely on a defense of mental disease or defect?"
