Question presented
- Did the Ninth Circuit ignore the process re-emphasized by this Court in Buck v. Davis and MillerEl,1 by refusing to issue Cristopher P. George a COA,2 thereby requiring him to make a far more demanding showing, as the court also affirmed the district court’s disregard of George’s prima facie showing of IAC3 and entitlement to relief in his 22554 habeas? 1 Buck v. Davis, 580 U.S. 100, 115 (2017) and Miller-El v. Cockrell, 537 U.S. 322, 336 (2003). 2 Certificate of Appealability. 3 Ineffective assistance of counsel. 4 28 U.S.C. § 2255.
