Question presented

Whether Petitioner's substantive claim of innocence and all the violations of his constitutional rights are barred simply as untimely and because of the total prosecutorial interference, miscarriage of justice, and appointed counsel's ineffectiveness. Whether the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals correctly denied Petitioner's request for Certificate of Appealability and erroneously stated that Petitioner has not shown that jurists of reason would find it debatable of his constitutional claims. Whether the United States District Court of Nevada clearly prolonged and erroneously dismiss Petitioner's Section 2255 Motion on the foundation as untimely petition and without considering Petitioner's substantial claim of his innocence.
