     FRANCISCO JIMENEZ v. COMMISSIONER
              OF CORRECTION
                  (AC 37860)
                  Keller, Prescott and Bear, Js.
    Argued September 21—officially released December 13, 2016

   (Appeal from Superior Court, judicial district of
                 Tolland, Cobb, J.)
  Douglas H. Butler, assigned counsel, for the appel-
lant (petitioner).
  Harry Weller, senior assistant state’s attorney, with
whom, on the brief, were Brian Preleski, state’s attor-
ney, and Kelly Masi, assistant state’s attorney, for the
appellee (respondent).
                          Opinion

   PER CURIAM. The petitioner, Francisco Jimenez,
appeals, following the granting of his petition for certifi-
cation to appeal, from the judgment of the habeas court
denying his second petition for a writ of habeas corpus.
He sets forth claims of constitutional violations because
of the actions of trial counsel, and he claims deficient
performance of trial counsel, appellate counsel, and
first habeas counsel. The petitioner bases these claims
on trial counsel’s (1) allegedly discriminatory and
improper statements during closing argument; (2) fail-
ure to pursue a motion to suppress a purportedly incul-
patory statement by the petitioner; and (3) failure to
call a witness. Following a trial, the habeas court denied
the petitioner’s second petition for a writ of habeas
corpus.
  After careful review of the record and the parties’
appellate briefs, their oral arguments before this court,
and the habeas court’s thoughtful and well reasoned
memorandum of decision, we conclude that the court
properly denied the petition for a writ of habeas corpus.
See Harris v. Commissioner of Correction, 126 Conn.
App. 453, 458, 11 A.3d 730, cert. denied, 300 Conn. 932,
17 A.3d 69 (2011). There is no error.
  The judgment is affirmed.
