      Michael O. Sheehan, in support of the petition.
    
      Rita M. Shair, assistant state’s attorney, in opposition.
    Decided April 11, 2001
   The defendant’s petition for certification for appeal from the Appellate Court, 62 Conn. App. 182 (AC 18365), is granted, limited to the following issues:

“1. Did the Appellate Court properly conclude that the trial court’s instruction, limiting the jury’s use of the evidence regarding the effect of Leroy Townsend’s use of marijuana on his credibility, was proper?”

“2. If the answer to the first question is ‘no,’ was the error harmless?”
