Question presented
Whether The Standard That Governs the AEDPA Provisions, 28 U.S.C. §2255(h)( 1), §2244(b)(2)(B)(ii), and §2244(b)(3)(A), is inapplicable To A Second Habeas Petition Seeking Consideration of Defaulted Constitutional Claims based on A Showing of Actual innocence of the Crime Under The "More likely than not" Standard Prescribed in Schiup v. Delo, 513 U.S. 298 (1995)? Whether The Lower Federal Courts Misapplied The Standard that Governs the Petitioner's Second Habeas Petition, When the "Clear and Convincing" Standard imposed by Sawyer v. Whitley, 505 U.S. 333 (1992), and Later enacted by Congress As the Standard That Governs the AEDPA Provisions was Clarified Pre-AEDPA in Schiup v. Delo, 513 U.S. 298 (1995), That Sawyer Standard is inapplicable to A Claim of Actual innocence of Crime? There's A Conflict Among Circuits As To Whether The Actual innocence Standard Decided PreAEDPA in Schiup v. Delo, 513 U.S. 298 (1995), Provides An Exception to the AEDPA Provisions, 28 U.S.C. §2255(h)(1), §2244(b)(2)(B), and §2244(b)(3)(A)? Petitioner is Entitled to have his Defaulted Constitutional Claims Addressed in the District Court Based on A Showing of Actual innocence of the Crime Under The "More likely than not" Standard Prescribed in Schiup v. Delo, 513 U.S. 298 (1995).
