Ernest Phillips v. Stephen Reynolds, Warden

Question No. IWhere the Petitioner-Appellant’s case presented a substantial showing of a denial of a constitutional right, and where the issues presented were debatable amongst jurists of reason, should the Sixth Circuit have granted a certificate of appealability? Question No. IIWhere the decision of the state court resulted in a decision that was contrary to, or involved an unreasonable application of, clearly established Federal law, as determined by the Supreme Court of the United States, does the district court err by denying Petitioner-Appellant’s petition for writ of habeas corpus?
