Opinion:
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?

C. Ian McLachlan, in opposition.
Decided September 17, 1992
