Habeas Supreme Court Opinion

by Townsend, Karen

 

SC20124 - Jobe v. Commissioner of Correction (Detention in federal immigration facility; whether Appellate court correctly determined that habeas court lacked subject matter jurisdiction; “On appeal, the petitioner contends that the Appellate Court (1) improperly declined to review his response, contained in his reply brief, to the alternative ground for affirmance advanced by the respondent, the Commissioner of Correction, and (2) incorrectly concluded that his federal immigration detention did not satisfy the ‘custody’ requirement of General Statutes § 52-466 (a), as amended in 2006. See Public Acts 2006, No. 06-152, § 5 (P.A. 06-152). We agree with the petitioner’s first claim but disagree with his second claim and, therefore, affirm the judgment of the Appellate Court”).
