The petition of the state of Connecticut for certification for appeal from the Appellate Court, 54 Conn. App. 201 (AC 17194), is granted, limited to the following issues:

“ 1. Did the Appellate Court properly conclude that the trial court’s instructions regarding ‘appropriate’ were constitutionally inadequate?
“2. If the answer to the first question is ‘yes’ was the error harmful?”
