John Mullarkey, Jr. v. Kevin Kauffman, Superintendent, State Correctional Institution at Huntingdon, et al.

Whether the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit erred in denying Petitioner’s request for a certificate of appealability pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c), where the Petitioner demonstrated, in accordance with the standards set forth in Miller-El v. Cockrell, 537 U.S. 322 (2003) and Buck v. Davis, 137 S. Ct. 759 (2017), that jurists of reason could disagree with the District Court’s resolution of his constitutional claims or that jurists could conclude the issues presented were adequate to deserve encouragement to proceed further?
