Question presented
Whether the lower courts so far departed from the accepted and usual course of judicial proceedings, or sanctioned such a departure by a lower court, as to call for an exercise of this Court’s supervisory power when they circumvented the standard of review for issuing a certificate of appealability as interpreted by this Court in Welch v. United States, 136 S. Ct. 1257, 1264 (2016) and Miller-El v. Cockrell, 537 U.S. 322, 338 (2003).
